Hi Ross,
have a look in the GP section ,
there are Engine codes,
then CANBUS - vehicle wiring codes
we've got kit that can read all of that..
what exactly were you trying to get sorted..??
a common one , is after a poorly executed cambelt change,

The engine management light came on randomly this morning. The car was serviced a few weeks ago and they broke an injector. I don't know whether that would have any effect?
Was hoping that the error code would be a simple one (such as an o2 sensor). But now the light is on and local garage can't tell me what the code means.

It's petrol. South Wales. I have had the car read again today by a different garage - same error code. They turned the light off, it stayed off. The car was switched off and back on - no light. Then later today when the car was started, the light was back.

Hi,
There is Fiat specfic diagnostic software called Multiecuscan
You need a PC (laptop or notepad), a registered copy of Multiecuscan (€50) www.multiecuscan.net and an ELM 327 or similar interface lead.e.g. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271275445368 (£15) I've used this seller.
Most garages can't read the Fiat specific codes properly.

Hi,
there is a potential issue with the vehicles wiring / connections,
( hence the error / warning light?)
I regularly travel over your way ( abertillery / pontypool), so I could bring my MES over if required, should have as good a chance as any..,

Hi Charlie,
I ordered the lead off eBay and bought the multiecuscan for my laptop. Plugged it in and was given a P code straight away. Points towards the oxygen sensor!
Thanks for your help
Ross
