Abarth 124 Spider

The roadster, and the most surprising fact in this catalogue: it is a Mazda MX-5, built on the same line in Hiroshima, with a Fiat MultiAir turbo engine dropped in. So the chassis, body electrics and roof mechanism diagnose as an ND MX-5 while the engine diagnoses as a Fiat — two completely separate bodies of knowledge meeting in one car, and knowing which half a code belongs to is the whole diagnosis.

Information, not instruction

CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.

Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:

  • The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
  • What you measured, not only what you replaced.
  • What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
