Hi ALL,

I have a beautiful 54 plate MANUAL Stilo Abarth Silver, Two-Tone Leather seats, Satnav, CC, AC, Phone, Basically the WHOLE shabang! Lol But I all of a sudden my panoramic sunroof is not opening anymore. It tries to but just doesn't any idea what it may be and how much I'm looking at?

And also I replaced my car key battery and I am no longer able to use the key functions to open and lock the car and have been forced to manually opening it with the key any ideas why?

And does any of you guys car take awhile to heat up? Cause it seems mine takes awhile compared to previous other cars I have had and I have no heating at all unless I use the "down arrow" which blows the smallest amount of WARM air out?

Can ANYONE help me out??? :bang:

Does the light on key fob flash when button on fob pressed..so you know battery in fob is good and fitted correctly,, flashes more if battery is low irc..things to check before thiinking on resetting fob remote to car..
Does the de-mist function work as climate control refrains heat until heat is present in heater..

Yeah it does flash

sounds like car computer system will need remote fobs re-learnt can be done with multiscan registerd version software and elm cable or at fiat either way you would need to purchase 5 digit electronic code this is available to purchase seperately from fiat, fiat will charge for this if ytou took car to fiat to have remotes reset.

I do not have panoramic roof so not stick my hand up there..I do have climate control ..there is a relearn test procedure hidden in other threads you may try a search and that may help if you have issues with the various flaps in your heater system do not remember off hand but one of those hold one or two buttons down and it runs through a test on the climate control

Oh ok thanks for that. Read something in the manual about after changing the battery the key right need to be re-registered to the car so will check it out and also took it to a garage and the guy said that all the electric motors have gone and cause its all electronic I was looking at the best part of a grand! Dreading how much Fiat will charge me! Hopefully if I get a diagnostic they should be able to pick it up but apparently its £80 per hour for one!!!

Should have learned my lesson when I had a punto.
Fiat = Fix.It.Again.Tomorrow
BMW Compact next I think

Not warming up will likely be a thermostat problem which you can replace yourself. Do a search in this forum for "thermostat"
