Agnelli
True Classic
My brother in law came over yesterday for help installing Abarth 500 was running quite poorly, sounded like only hitting on 3 of 4 cylinders. He had neglected the recommended plug and coil pack interval service and ran the car up to 75k miles on the originals, not a good thing.
The second cylinder from driver's side had a completely fouled plug, and in comparison with new NGK's the gaps were quite large.
It took us about 20 minutes to remove the turbo intake hose, move the intake / air cleaner aside then replace the coil packs and plugs. Apparently shops can charge upwards of $1000. OE parts cost $200. Replacement coil packs sourced from the dealer were really nice, made in Germany.
Car now runs again as it should, pulled hard in Sport mode in 3rd gear quickly up to 70 mph. And I yelled at him for running super bald tires especially as winter is approaching.
