Servicing a 2009 Fiat Panda 1.2 Dynamic Eco

In this video I carry out an engine service on this 2009 Fiat Panda 1.2 Dynamic Eco (petrol/gasoline engine). I change the engine oil and replace the oil filter, spark plugs, air filter and pollen filter (cabin filter). The original spark plugs were Bosch however the dealer replacements were NGK. I used genuine Fiat parts with the exception of the pollen filter which was an OEM brand.

Additionally I reference a common cause for water ingress to the interior on these cars and I demonstrate the process of unblocking the plenum chamber drain tubes/grommets which is often a quick fix when water fills this area, cannot escape and consequently leaks into the car.

The cambelt, tensioner and water pump were replaced last year.

The car previously suffered an electrical fault where the battery failed to charge, which was traced to a defective earth cable. Initially the alternator had been thought to be the cause. I reference the earthing issue in this video, as I was applying white grease to the battery terminals.
