all 500's have 5 speed dualogic.Yep thats the one. Is yours 5 or 6 speed? if 5 speed it should be an L shapre (the entire unit), as part sits over the top of the box, and the pump and reservoir comes down the front normally.
You've not ever fixed one yourself though have you
haha so latest update. I have an apointment with Fiat main dealer on Thursday to have diagnostics check. Lets see what they say, they are a long time fiat dealer so maybe they have more dualogic experience than bosch service, who were excellent but basically said, short of replacing the whole unit we dont know what to do anymore = ) If indeed the whole unit needs to be replaced, i want fiat involved as this has been going on for a long time and indeed broke the first time whilst under warranty.Perhaps not, but Ahmett's broken one more times than anyone else .
just a question. as you see from the oil reservoir in the picture there is no cap on it, you can put oil in direcctly. Is that normal? Or does there need to be a cap there.Yep thats the one.

i'll get it checked and see if there are any leaks.Yes should be a small round cap on the top.
My car is smoking!!!
Should I be worried ?
Only if it's in an enclosed public place, in which case your car could get a £2500 fine .
Seriously, I wouldn't worry, at least no more so than usual.
It's probably just oil burning off the exhaust & heatshields.
Look on the bright side - if it catches fire, at least you'll be able to claim on the insurance .
Pressure wash the engine bay and see if it continues. If the mechanic says there's oil everywhere there probably is
no gearbox + selespeed for 2000 euros = )Would be interested to see what they say is wrong with the gearbox to need 2000 euro of work.
Will normally be an issue with one and not the other, so make sure they're not just changing bits and charging you for the sake of it!
