Vehicle of the Month FIAT 500X 2014> Steering & Suspension Link Rod Front

T

he FIAT 500 name has grown somewhat from its roots as a supermini, designed for city life. Since 2013 the brand launched two new variants of the 500, that at first glance you might think compete with each. The slightly ungainly 500L is the most practical but compared to the 500X, with its large alloys and body-coloured bumpers, it is a much more appealing proposition.

Retaining the quirky styling cues of the original 500, the X variant is pitched as a cross-over or small SUV; something that with added practicality, fitted small family requirements.

The 500X didn’t stand out against the competition in terms of space yet if you’d always wanted a 500 but needed to carry people over the age of 5 in the rear seats, then the X variant looked enormous.

The 500X had its shortcomings and stiff competition from an almost endless array of similar cars, both of which suppressed sales in certain markets. The UK and Italy saw the best uptake of the mid-sized FIAT and whether driven for the school run or over the Tuscany hills, FAI has a great selection of parts to keep them moving.

Engine of the Month FORD / PSA 1.6 DV6

S

ome engines fit just one vehicle or a small number of models within a manufacturer’s line-up, but with the 1.6 DV6 unit, it was fitted in dozens of models across at least 10 manufacturers; but this was always the plan.

The powerplant was born of a family of engines pioneered by a collaboration between Ford and PSA, which at that time filled a void in the line-up, as a 1.6 TD seemed a much better choice over a 1.6i petrol lump. In many areas, the DV6 was the perfect choice for small to mid-sized cars and vans, with a good dose of torque and infrequent trips to the filling station. However, it was placed in some questionable applications, such as the Volvo S80, where if you tried overtaking a tractor, you actually had time for a chat with the farmer before pulling back in.

So, loads of applications, silly numbers built and fitted since 2004 and thousands of happy customers. Well, yeah... For the most part anyway.

“They do like to blow a turbo!” is something many of you reading this would have said as soon as you clocked our chosen EOTM – and you’d be right! There is extensive commentary online that stretches back years, outlining various causes for the failures but customers don’t want to hear that, they want to hear what needs doing and how much is it going to cost.
