Hello all,
I have a Panda Cross 2008 model and recently had its 80 000 km service (6000 kms ago). I am extremely happy with the car.
This afternoon while driving at slow speed, the "ELD disconnected" warning came on with the "Check engine" warning light. I have not been driving using the ELD since winter and was not driving using the ELD at the time. This has happened twice before, but was fixed by simply shutting the car off for a while. (This problem is now seemingly fixed again after I checked it 10 minutes ago.)
This problem seems to be a bit more serious as I continued to drive. Whenever I accelerate to 3000 rpm the power just fades away. Not like a sudden cut-out, but pretty much exactly at 3000 rpm, no power, and no possibility to rev or accelerate beyond that. The only way to build up speed was to get to 4th and 5th below 3000 rpm and use momentum. I suppose this is what you might call "limping home" mode.
I have found this thread https://www.fiatforum.com/panda/116431-no-power-go.html that seems to relate to a similar sort of problem, except that I DO have the "engine check" light on and NO smoke. Fuel sensor? EGR Valve? I will take it in on Monday morning, but do any of you have any ideas? Suggestions?
Much, much appreciated.
