Hi
I had just got to work this morning in my 1.6 fiat stilo when as i pulled in to the car park the engine died and the engine fault light came on.
I tried to restart the car and the first few tiomes it did not start properly, it started then died pretty soon after but on the third attempt it did stay running.
Deciding to tempt fate I took it for a little drive around to see if it was making any funny noises or the power was limited but I could not hear anything, and the instantious fuel consumption was pretty much the same as what i expected it to be. The power was not limited as I understand it can be when engine faults occur.
Think i will call the RAC out when i leave work as I have a 50 mile drive round the m25 to get home and do not want to damage the car.
Does anyone have any ideas what may have caused this problem, is it likely to be expensive ???.
I do like the stilo but it does seem a little unreliable
Thanks
Adam
