Going by the air filter, it's a safe bet the oil has never been changed and it's turned into sludge. Be a good idea to put in a pint of diesel as a flush before changing the oil.
I think all 500s should only be sold as Artwork they are not able to handle UK roads , How is it my neighbour has a Land Rover from the 1960s and it still starts first time and drives well but a car from 2012 is having do many issues ? Hopefully il be able to get shot of my 500 only bought it to look at 😂 and it's been nothing but trouble can't even handle driving 3 miles to work and back 😂 my old car a 2002 Astra Diesel never had issues until after 245 thousand miles 😮 shows how badly made newer cars are post 2010
“2012” are the last 4 numbers of the air filter part number, not the date code
