hi, have got my hands on a stilo abarth and am loving every minute of ownership. just a few points i want advice on;
  1. the standard back box is hideous, i dont want a loud, paint can back box. something hidden would be nice.
  2. do the dension ipod devices work on the normal cd player.
  3. steering makes a bit of noise when pulling out of a tight spot, normal!! or something to look at
  4. engine management light came on when legging it!
any help greatfully recieved. oh and one last one,
my skyroof and blind were completely dead when i got the car, good bargaining chip! but i sorted it out by just removing the 3 fuses and turning them round. (may be of use to someone)
and lastly drivers side headlight bulb wasnt working, just removed the washher bottle and changed the bulb, whats all this about removing most of the front of the car!!!
looks like a cool site, im down in newquay, if anyone is down this way. the kettles always on.

Get used to dis-mantling most of the car to change a bulb. Nightmare of a job. Good purchase and welcome to the forum. Not so clued up on abarths myself but someone will be along in due course with some advice.
 
There are loads of possible back boxes available for the Stilo Abarth. Raggazon and Longlife have both been used by members here.

The iPod quesion I must leave for others

Some noise from the steering when more or less stationary is normal

Engine mgt light could be anything. Any error message? Low on oil?

Poor battery? Has it been changed, worth a check.
 
thanks for the advice, glad to know the steering is normal. any advice on the dension ipod?
