Hi, I’m wondering if somebody could help me please. I have a 63 plate 0.09l twinair fiat 500 with around 82k on the clock.
Two days ago my Milage on my dash started flashing & ive now came to notice that the stop start doesn’t work or the menu button or media button on my steering wheel as well as the blue&me. I took it to a nearby garage today & they ran a diagnostic test which came up with the fault code U1733, however I can’t seem to find the bit in the Manuel which tell you what the codes mean. Can anybody help me with what the problem could be please?

Mine is a 62 reg twinair and I get all sorts of silly errors all the time. When I first got the car I was really stressed about it, and now this is what I do. Firstly, mine goes mad in the morning if it’s been raining during the night, I don’t have a garage, but no rain, no weird error messages. It’ll start and usually dispaly the stop start symbol with the amber triangle and the engine warning light, it’ll misfire, give another code ie door open and go into limp mode (won’t rev over 2000 rpm ) so, I keep it running for a minute or so and then somehow it’ll rev ok all the the range but all the lights are still on. I’ll drive it for a bit like this, then at the first red kight, turn the ignition on and off. It’s then clear like nothing has ever happened. I’ve also found that charging the battery once a week helps (and if it’s a 2nd hand car, check the battery is a stop start one £200) and I bought a obd reader/thing on eBay for £20 that clears down all the error codes and that helps too. Seems it doesn’t really matter what the error codes are, just delete them and turn the engine light off. Works for me.

When it’s going great it’s magic. Italians eh?
