Im just sat reading me owners manual, as not much else i can do for me baby til my tools arrive. And I just read about the "engine oil level display" That comes up when you put your key in the ignition, well I hadnt paid much attention to it,

but says here "if during the ignition , there is an interruption or fault on the detection circuit, the oil messages flashes for ten seconds. :confused:

if at the next start up the oil message flashes again, go to the fiat dealer ( my arse lol , Ill go somewhere but not a fiat dealer :p )

What could this mean ??? Is it just sensor fault ???

I must also add, I now have some major running problems, wonder if this is realated, or could put the car into a limp mode ????

Car now, will not start, will fire up once in twenty attempts, run for a few sec's then die ? just turns an turns , sounds to me the layman, like no fuel, but when hey in a turned, can hear a hissing in the engine ???

looking at possible crank sensor failure ?

This is after leaving it in the hands of a muppet !!! The problem before that was no revs over 3000, no power, and no brakes ?

Just wanted to add that, incase anything is realated !



please oh wise brethren , oh and sisteth,s or sisters lol.
Ive had nothing but great help and support from this forum so far, so just throwing another thing up for yall !!!

cheers !

Hi
Don't worry about that flashing light for the moment :). The dipstick is sufficiently reliable to see the engine oil level.
Hope you are making some progress with your car (y)
