Posts: 7,488 Thanks: 581 Trader Rating: 1 ![]() | Re: Smoking Fiat 500 Do not buy a smoking 1.2. These engines will go for a very long time if looked after. They can burn a little oil but not enough to cause smoking. This smoking is likely to be caused by an overheat at some time, so either head gasket is leaking, or piston rings have picked up in the bores and so are no longer sealing properly. There are so many of these around, look further for a better one.
