Hello guys! With great pain I want to share that the first car in my life (Fiat Panda 2007 1.3 Multijet) left me. While driving on the motorway at maximum speed, i saw red engine light on the dashboard and I started to lose speed. Luck was with me and I managed to stop in the emergency lane, but I couldn't start anymore. Roadside assistance took me to a service station and they told me that the engine had no compression and that if I wanted it removed, inspected and possibly repaired, it would cost me dearly, something around £2,000, and that in their opinion it was not worth it. With great sadness I decided to send it for scrap, although I spent a lot of money on it and it was in perfect condition (every year full service and all repairs made, on the recommendation of the mechanics). In your opinion, why did the Panda left me about 120,000 miles away, wasn't it too early? Am I to blame for driving it at maximum speed on the motorway? Did I make a mistake in driving with a broken turbo for almost 4 years? Thank you for your attention.
