Five minutes into my journey home tonight the engine warning light on my 16,000 miles 100HP came on and all the power evaporated as the car went into limp mode. Fortunately there was a petrol filling station 200 yards down the road so I pulled in and consulted the manual.
This proved singluarly unhelpful as pages 97-128 inclusive were absent and of course that included those pages pertinent to my predicament :bang:
The LCD display said check engine so I checked engine. I even sat around for 20 minutes so I could check the oil level even though I had checked it the previous evening as part of my regular weekend routine. Nothing obviously wrong so I limped home.
I'm guessing it is just a duff sensor so will crawl into the dealership tomorrow morning. It's still in warranty so not too worried but is this a known problem - should I be afraid?
Not going to be impressed if this is the start of a slippery slope into Fiat unreliability
