Fiat 500 clutch worn: symptoms and costs

The automatic Fiat 500 also has a normal clutch, which wears just like in a manual car. With the Dualogic you often notice it differently than you might expect.

Symptoms

  • The engine revs up without the car accelerating as much (slipping), especially when pulling away or uphill.
  • Jerky pulling away or a harsh, abrupt clutch.
  • With the Dualogic: gear changes take longer, the car jumps into neutral or shows a fault message.
  • A burning smell after hard acceleration.

Why does this matter with the Dualogic?

The robot adapts to the wear. When the clutch is worn out, the robot runs out of range and gear-change faults appear. After replacement the clutch has to be calibrated again with diagnostic equipment; we always do this. We also replace the clutch fork and the transmission oil.

Fixed prices

  • Clutch replacement 1.2 automatic: € 544.50 incl. VAT
  • Clutch replacement 0.9 TwinAir automatic: € 605 incl. VAT
  • Dual-mass flywheel and clutch 0.9 TwinAir: € 980.10 incl. VAT

Frequently asked questions

How long does a Fiat 500 clutch last?

That depends a lot on how the car is used. Lots of city traffic and pulling away uphill wear it faster. If in doubt, have the remaining clutch wear measured; with the Dualogic this can be done with diagnostic equipment.

Does the flywheel need replacing too?

The 0.9 TwinAir has a dual-mass flywheel. If you hear rattling at idle or feel vibrations, it is wise to replace it at the same time. We always discuss this with you first.
