As the proud owner of a FIAT 500 TwinAir, you might be worried about potential engine issues that have cropped up. Some drivers have reported issues such as unexpected stalling, sudden engine surges, and shaky or vibrating idle behavior. Additionally, you may notice reduced acceleration and overall engine performance. If a full engine replacement is necessary, the parts alone could cost you anywhere from $680 to $2580, with labor costs from a professional mechanic ranging from $500 to $1400.

    I'm facing a similar problem as Marie with her 0.9 twin air car. We're currently waiting for a part for the motor replacement to arrive from Italy. There's an issue with some sensor overheating, causing the car to cut off the turbo function. Consequently, when this occurs, it feels like driving a 2-cylinder vehicle without the turbo boost. It's comparable to driving with a motorcycle engine, with the manual gears not matching and an overall lack of power. We're looking at a repair cost of €1500, on top of the €80 spent on replacing the spark plugs and €280 spent on attempting to clean out a valve that isn't functioning properly. 😢
