Hi all,
Sorry if this is in the wrong place, I'm not one to post a lot - I'm more of a lurker for info and advice on my 500!
So its a 1.4 sport model and it's in for the 1st service today, just over 12 months old and 10,300 miles on the clock. I've been quoted £220 all in from the Fiat dealer I brought it from (oil and filter change, pollen filter, air con, all checks and spark plugs) They also need to change the number plate bulb which has gone.
From an old thread £220 seems high but considering it's a Fiat garage it's probably around the standard cost.
They just called and said the software upgrade has caused the control unit to malfunction and so I'll need a new one which they are going to fit tomorrow.
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?
(Other things to mention is that my milage number has flashed before in the past a couple of times.)
Thanks in advance for any help. seems to be a lot of 500 drivers out there now, it's such a great little car!
