Fixing the low oil pressure on my Fiat 500 TwinAir (oil light is on)

My Fiat 500 TwinAir has low oil pressure and won't start. This is because it's a fresh engine, but it turns out that these engines can lose oil pressure if the car has simply been sitting for a few weeks without running.
If your TwinAir won't start and the oil light is on then the solution is pretty easy. Remove the spark plugs and disconnect the fuel pump. Crank the engine until the oil light goes out. Reconnect everything. Job done. Thanks to everyone that helped with this.

Thank you for the mention! Glad that it worked 😁 P.S: all engines lose oil pressure over time when stopped, the problem with twinair/multiair engines is that intake valves are operated by oil pressure... so, no oil pressure, closed valves, no compression and engine not starting 😅

FAN-TAS-TIC result, Nino, given it’s a second-hand ‘crate’ motor I was dubious, and the initial ‘Thresher’ noises didn’t convince me she was ‘right’ (very knocky’ on start) but quietened down, and I hope you had fun on the extended test, which I am really looking forward to watching! Keep ‘em coming JC HK

I can't fault you for being overly cautious. Good to see her running again. New parts and a fresh MoT will be peace of mind for the next owner. I had to do some MoT work on a 2012 Fiat 500 with just shy of 46K on the clock. It runs beautifully and it subsequently passed the retest. There will be a video on my own channel in due course.

@robthomson2732

I know I'm really far behind in terms of time frame, and future videos may address this, but thought I would wade in. There's a very similar issue regarding oil pressure on Ford Engines, the 2.2 and 3.2 Diesels. Basically once the oil pump is dry or has air in it, it wouldn't be able to take suction and consequently oil pressure. There is a somewhat dubious "10 minute rule" when doing oil changes on those engines as if you leave it any longer, the oil pump won't be able to pick up suction. Ford's issue is they used a vane pump, luckily smart people make a geared aftermarket conversion kit. Sounds like Fiat are doing something similar!

Good Job. Hoping to do my own car repairs and servicing once I move to a place where I can keep tools etc. Place with a garage or a car port. One day I might get a cat N from salvage and have a crack at doing a repair job. I did a project years ago on an old Honda 125 motorbike and really enjoyed the process. Love your channel and enjoying the videos. Keep up the good work. I'm now a new subscriber.👍😊

Question as you have experienced this issue. Im looking at a 2013 Fiat 500 with 35K miles. The current own said the low oil pressure lite is on and they towed it home. All the article Ive read says the engine is bad. Its hard to believe that a car with 35K has this kind of issue. Even the deal I called said the 500 is junk and not to buy one. Any thoughts?

That triangle is just a check light which turns on with notice on the center screen from example with dead light bulb and disappears when you have the problem in question fixed. Those don't show up on normal CAN diagnostics. I don't know about official diagnostics tools though.

Well done mate. I did notice the thermostat housing was a bit corroded before you put the hose on, it could be that causing the leak, as Fiat hoses tend to last the life of the car. It`d be worth sticking a new thermostat in it when you re-do the coolant.

If that hose uses a jubilee clip, sometimes they just don't tighten with even constriction, especially on a reassembled old hose, there can be an open spot. A constant compression spring clip may be a useful replacement. If not a little rubber grease on the inside of the clip may allow it to slide round the hose with a bit more compression.

Nice one! I remember that feeling of joy as mine fired up after having the same issue with my Fiat Panda twinair, after leaving it stood for a few weeks! Sounds perfect, that 'knitting machine' noise when they first fire up when cold is fine. 👍 The triangle orange warning light usually means a bulb out etc so probably just becaue you got lights unplugged, the system is very sensitive to things like that.
