Hi there. New to the forum as I've just bought a 2007 1.2 panda for my son. Very happy with it apart from the fact it momentarily cuts off when it hits a bump. I knew there are several threads on this but beyond checking and cleaning connections any advice would be appreciated
Thanks

A quick check shows that if I tap one of the cables going into the top of the ECU it cuts out. I'll disconnect it, clean it up and see if it helps.

Wow , huge well done , that's a problem that could have been a pain in the rear to find.
Good luck.

Welcome to FF.
If cleaning the connector does not help, it could be a cracked joint where the connector is soldered to the circuit board inside the ECU. If you are not handy with the solderin iron I can probably do it for you.

Excellent. Really helpful. I'll update the posting when I try it. Great forum this!

Quick spray with electrical contact cleaner and a nice tightening up seems to have worked
Thanks for the offer of help

Problem returned. Definitely an issue with cable / connection to ECU. I'll update in case anyone else experiences the same thing

If you get stuck remember Roberts offer regarding opening ECU and resoldering for you.

I won't forget!

Slightly bent pin in the connector. Seems to be resolved and son can't stop driving his Panda now.
