- It's time to take the 500 Abarth out of winter hibernation but how well does it start after sitting for 5 months? If you have a modern Fiat with a Multiair engine, you may find it hard to start if it sat for a while. Check out this video to see what it's like. Also, if you enjoy the sound of a raspy, turbocharged inline-4, check this out! #fiat #fiat500 #abarth #fiat500abarth #abarth500 #exhaust #exhaustsound #coldstart #asmr #exhaustasmr #multiair #turbo #turbocharger #scorpion #italy #italia #minilamborghini #mopar
Have a Punk White 2011 Abarth 500 in the Uk. We didnt get ours with the Multiair, ours are T-Jets and they dont suffer with cold starts after long periods like these.
Cool car though, good to see them being loved from the other other side of the pond!😊
That’s great to know! I guess I didn’t realize they didn’t suffer from the same issue. Some folks in the states have been converting to T-Jet heads. Interesting that the same tech didn’t make it over here.
@@Coronet777Multi-air is the newer and more advanced system. T-jet is the older system
@@asqueezy ahh very cool! I wasn’t sure if the T-Jet never made it over to North America because of emissions reasons or just because it was older tech. There are also some companies in the US doing T-Jet head swaps onto our cars so there must be some sort of potential performance advantages. Maybe just simplicity?
@@Coronet777 I have a pretty heavily modified Abarth and no one in my group is doing it and neither is my tuner, so I'm not sure there is a performance difference, but the multiair system is very expensive and complicated. Mine is still on the original at over 100k miles, but there are cases of failures at lower miles. They are very sensitive to oil, so regular full synthetic changes are a must to extend their life, and you need to be careful when doing any work near that system as some of the interfaces and connectors can be easily damaged
@@asqueezy I’ve been sticking with the OE Pennzoil Platinum Euro and changing oil every 3,000 miles to be safe. What oil do you run?
niiiiiiccccceee I want one like this... we get very cold winters, I'm curios how will it handle the snow tbh because i want to use it then
Thanks for watching! I’ve actually never driven it in the snow. It was an Arizona car most of its life and I garage it when the snow flies. I believe all Abarths have an electronic limited slip differential. That plus some snow tires, I bet it’d do okay 😁
@@Coronet777the Abarth is an open diff, which is why you get noticeable torque steer. They drive ok in snow with good all season tires or dedicated snow tires, the ground clearance can be an issue with heavy/deep snow
@@asqueezy thanks for setting me straight on the differential! I think I got that idea from an old MotorTrend article. They were talking about it in conjunction with the torque transfer control system
@@Coronet777 gotcha, I also know they had more options/versions in Europe and they did have a version with a mechanical LSD, but we never got that stateside unfortunately. It's not a perfect car, but I still love mine!
@@asqueezyI totally agree. It’s an interesting little car that a lot of people don’t know about.
It is made for warm italian climate 😅
@@snowfox1401 Hahaha so true!
