Hi everyone, Had my Abarth about 6 weeks now, and i've got a few niggly problems. Tryed my local dealer but they were about as much use as tits on a fish. having just swapped from a V6 ford mondeo i thought i was used to crappy dealers.
1st problem, airbag system failure warning light. think i all ready know the answer to this one from reading other threads. am i right in saying it's most likely to be the weight sensor? it only seems to come on when theres a passenger.
problem 2, The LCD screen moves. Hard to describe exactly what happens but its very annoying.
Problem 3, i want to subscribe to the targsys system but cant find how to do it.
Apart from that so far so good. Have i done the right thing by buying a FIAT or am i now in for years of frustration:)
 
Regarding your TargSys. Although I've never used it, I believe you get 12 months free and the dealership needs to register you. Just make sure you send off your card for the satnav disc as you'll get a free update which contains a far more detailed map.

no you didnt do the wrong thing changing to fiat ive had alfas/fiats for about seven years and bought myself a stilo abarth about twelve months ago and i confess it was a pre-launch 3dr model but if anything could go wrong it did to a point where the dealer i got the car from accepted my rejection of the car a fiat agreed to give me a brand new one and it been brilliant and just because you get one bad egg doesnt make them all bad and hasnt put me off buying another as with all new cars theres always faults to iron out.My brother has had 2 subaru impretzas and 2 engine rebuilds
 
How long did you have to wait for you new abarth Andy? I've been waiting 18 weeks for fine - was yours a factory order? if so what spec?

Cheers

Paul
