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??
