Hello from a new 20VT owner.

Hello all,

I'm collecting my new 20v Turbo in Sprint Blue tomorrow. She's a "P" reg with full Fiat service history, red, blue & silver keys. Cam-belt replaced & receipts for other major jobs. P6000 all round with 80k miles. I found this site very helpful in the search for the right car with lots of tips on what to look for. Thanks.
Maybe I can make it along to a few meets, I'm based in Cheshire.

I dont think anyone has ever said this to a newbie before...




Check your oil!

Weekly.

And welcome to Coupe ownership.

(Not that I've got one at the moment)

That's more accurate!

Welcome to the forum

Hello there Welcome along

Hi and welcome. We have loads of meets in and around the midlands take a look in social events and put your name down.

Im fairly new to coupe ownership too. I agree with the "wave your bank account goodbye"!!!! Worth it though!!!

Well hello to you too Dickie

Hoping to try and arrange a meet sometime in wilthire area, but will look into that after throwing spanners around this wk end doing my clutch and timing belt!!!

Hi and welcome

Welcome to the forum buddy

Welcome aboard

welcome to the best car forum you'll find. as the others say get to some meets and let us poke around your car.

i get boring but you ought to join the club too for £15 - you get loads of discounts and reductions from many places, not least the specialists who work on these cars, and it helps oil the wheels of the club

Great someone who can string a decent sentance together.

Welcome to the forum, enjoy the coupe (I'm sure you will).

Welcome...and enjoy! (once you've checked your oil!)

welcome!

hello and welcome

Well I've just got the Coupe home & all I can say is .... WOW!
Thanks for the warm welcome. Oil is ok, pressure is ok.
Out of interest, which engine oil do you recommend?

Please, for the love of all things Holy, do *not* ask that question! Trust me, you'll get this thread locked quicker than tuned 20vt!

Have a look through the Basic FAQ section, read one of the one million, seven hundred and fifty two thousands (locked) threads asking the same question.......then you'll understand why that question raises hackles!

Various opinions on this, i personally cant recommend Selenia Racing Oil highly enough,

Iv had x2 coupes now, and never had oil pressure problems, even in very very hot weather...

Hi there, welcome to the forum. Really nice bunch on here. Very helpful, regarding the Coop & other things The oil question is probably the most asked question on here ever! Do a bit of searching using the search function..Obviously if youre a serious driver, go fully synthetic at least..

(but we all know that silkolene is the best, really)

I have always found that my cars run lower oil pressure on Silkolene!

I find Silkolene Pro S gives very good oil pressure. It's a cool purple colour too

I suspect Mr Bockers will arrive shortly with a very large set of well-used keys........

welcome to the forum .

And it tastes nicer.

Welcome to the Club

welcome both new owners!! no looking back guys probably the best value car in the WORLD!!

cod liver oil is good for you .... i think with oil do the research ...its worth it.... remember are you going to be sat in traffic or are you going to be on open roads remember dont skimp on it as a new bottom end is not cheap

and welcome to the mad house .... its like a load of women out shopping on here ..cant make there mind up on anything...except 1 thing ... the coupe is awsome

Welcome aboard chaps,please leave your sanity and reasoning at the door on the way in!
Coops are fantastic cars,onto my 3rd,they get under your skin,as it says on the bottom of my number plate "Heaven and Hell"
Enjoy!

Ok.... after a few weeks of ownership. New custom exhaust.... Here's my car.
