Common problems and easy repairs on a 2016 Panda

The 2016 Fiat Panda Pop is an easy vehicle to maintain. Many of the headlights are accessible by simply reaching behind the bulb housing and removing a cover, allowing for reliable bulb changes. The battery has unobstructed access that will make for easy jumpstarts and battery replacements. The spare tire and jack kit are easy to reach, which should eliminate some of the problems of fixing a flat.

However, the 2016 Fiat Panda Pop has its downsides. The engine air filter will be difficult to change as the bolts that secure the filter housing are in challenging places to reach. Changing the cabin air filter may also be a problem on account of the cramped and awkward position you’ll need to work in to reach it. You’ll need to remove multiple parts for access to the tail lights, which are secured by multiple screws and won’t allow for reliable changes.
