In July last year I had a problem with the passenger door of my 3 door Abarth. The deadlock failed meaning that the door could not be opened from either the inside or out. I returned it to the dealer who managed to get the door open and replaced the lock mechanism. The new lock lasted 2 days before the passemger door could once again not be opened. After another trip to the dealer they found the problem related to a small pastic worm drive that activates the dead locking. This can travel too far and jam. They removed the worm drive and put the lock back in the car. The door locks fine, it just won't deadlock.
At the time a number of people reported on the forum that they had a similar problem.
Since then I have been waiting for a modified door lock to be available from Fiat. On the 5th of December FIATEXPERT reported on a diferent post that a modified passenger door lock was available.
I alerted the dealer that the part was now available. They have since been told by the local importer that Fiat say that there is no modified part???

Does anyone know if the modified door lock has been released and if so what it's part number is??

Thats really bad. I feel like we should start a "Bring Back FiatExpert" campaign. He was great; at least he knew what he was talking about.

BRING BACK FIATEXPERT!!!

This one hasn't been modified. Best thing to do is to get your importer to see what part number they've got listed and see if it's one of the above. I expect its the first since it's been modified.

Hi,

Thanks for your information.
Yes NZ is right hand drive. I believe that this door lock problem is only showing up in the passenger door on right hand models. I will pass on the information to the local importer and see which part they have been trying to get.

I agree with your first post. It is a shame when people feel that they have to leave the forum.
