I always wanted to know this,but you should have pressure washed off the dust and dirt before replacing the hood. That's what I will do when I get my 4C. Thanks for the video.
😂 I can't afford a 4C but I always wondered why it didn't have a hood other than the actual hood for the engine. Until I can't afford one I better start looking for an Abarth😅
Thanks for the cool video. I always wonder what was under the hood. My family car in the 1980s was an Alfetta 4 door sedan. My childhood was basically spent at our mechanic's shop because the car was so unreliable. As an adult, I only drive Alfas in Italy, either through a rental company or one of my cousin's cars. I have neither the patience nor the good humor to own one in the States as much as I love the brand.
You have to ask yourself why the radiator is enclosed? Thanks for the video and weird noises, now I know I only have to pull the one windshield washer hose to remove the hood. May as well top off the brake fluid while you're in there huh? I'm really looking forward to working on my 4C, they should have called this car the Quirk. Everything including a simple air filter change is a pain in the ass on this car but you just have to love it anyway.
The radiator vents out the bottom. I think the 4C is actually pretty easy to work on considering it's exotic nature. Everything just kind of bolts together like legos :)
Do any of you get water get in to the upper mounting threaded posts like I did? I'm talking the areas where the hood mounts next to windshield cowl. Two of mine got completely rusted and seized. Those posts are glued to the chassis and to my knowledge cant be purchased. Im going to have to custom fab mines up.
Thanks for the video. Got some work done and the washer fluid hose wasn’t reconnected. Your video showed me where to look for the hose and I was able to reconnect without removing the bonnet.
