Hi there, basically I was test driving a Fiat Stilo yesterday and I really liked the car and for the price it was an absolute steal. I did however notice that there is a yellow light in the rev gauge that was on, it looks like an engine basically and the guy selling it claimed thats just to show the car needs a service.
I left it for that day with the aim of finding out more before buying the car. Basically is what he is saying true? Is this just a light to show the car needs servicing? Or is it an engine problem light? I should note that the car drove beautifully and the engine sounded fine, nothing my uncle (who is a mechanic) could spot was wrong with the car but he wait till I find out what that light meant first.
Also, the airbag warning light was on and the guy selling the car assured me this is an easy fix and that its a common problem with Fiat Stilos. Again, I have to ask if this is true?
Lastly, the front felt a bit soft but I dont know if this is just the way Fiat Stilos drive...? (Im used to a much firmer suspension in my parents sporty saloon)
Any help is really greatly appreciated and I have to say for a 10 year old car, Fiat Stilos have really aged well both inside and out
Cheers
