I am a member of Talkford forum, and I have posted on the KA forum asking any owners if they are having the same problem as the 500 and will update if anyone replies back.
Thank you for that, it is of interest if the same 1.2 engine causes the same issues in the KA or not, if not then Fiat have a lot to answer for (well they do anyway, but you know what I mean lol).
