hi good to know alfa can also repair this problem. And on the matter of the cambelt no i had it changed 15.000 miles ago ? The garage really didnt what to talk to me about this problem so all i can put it down to is the person that road tested my car after the pump was replaced must have been killing it on the test drive and killed my car in doing so ? They did show me the bill and it would of cost me 1.700 quid thank god i was not paying .

Hiya
mine kept jumping out of gear and would not go into gear but i only ended up with a small bill thank hevens ,when they put it onto the machine thing examiner??? it said fault was with the clutch stop pin ,so after they done the fix and re-check problem was gone (y)otherwise he tells me i would have needed new clutch and flywheel kit ,luckily they are a good garage as i have been in other that treat/think us females are thick and easy money
 
ok been outside in the cold :( car not going into gear. run the diag on the ecu and all looking ok apart from the presure being 9bar :cry: did some testing of the rest of the bits checked all connectors and relays pump is getting 12 volts when the system is telling it to turn the relay on.

if i tap the pump ( not easy but along pole works well ) the pump starts and then the presure goes up to about 60barand all gears are ok until it ddrops back down to around 40bar.

so im sure the pump is the problem.

question is can i only get a new pump from a fiat stealer or is there somewhere that i can get either a recon or paten pump form and how much am i looking to have to pay?

also are there any special tools required to change the pump?

thanks

hi there just hd mine replaced 2 weeks before christmas ad it aint cheap i payed £809 parts and labour sorry to give the bad news but it aint going to be cheap let me know how you get on ?
 
my pump died as well, fiat footed the parts bill and i paid the labour because it was just out of warranty and fiat were good to me :)

£800 seems a lot to me though, i paid about £200 for labour and fiat paid about £400 for parts
