Just purchased my 2015 Fiat 500L Trekking. Anything that I need to watch out for on the next couple of weeks/months?


Thanks.

Can't think of anything to drastic! Brake light bulbs go quite regularly and little tricky to change, have to be careful not to pull off the chrome as I did! Lol

Brake light bulbs go quite regularly

Just coming up to 2 years ownership and have never had a bulb blown. maybe I'm lucky or karma will now be a bitch.


Hope you enjoy the car

Maybe your a average user, I drive for a living and mine is automatic so use the brakes a lot! I have replaced about 10 sets so far in 15 months ownership. Also had the front disks replaced, 2nd set of DRL bulbs (now have led) Headlight bulbs pop every few months (sometimes weeks) but there so easy to change (they just pull out and push back in!) The canbus doesn't tell you when a Headlight gas gone, I know you can see! My old Fiat Idea had a great canbus system not only did it tell you a bulb as out, it told you which bulb and which side! Just had new handbrake cables (under Warranty) had 2nd glow plug fitted (warranty) My warranty ends the end of October! But I took out an extended warranty for 3 years! Glad I did now....
