Hi All,
I recently (2 weeks ago) had the pleasure of having to spend over two hundred pounds at a local Fiat Main Dealer having a new Air Pressure Sensor and KC Sensor ? fitted to my 2004 1.3 Multijet Diesel. These items where fitted because the Engine Management Light had come on. The Car has ran perfectly for two weeks but yesterday I noticed a fairly loud and distict whine which to my ear sounded like the Turbo. The noise can be controlled by the Throttle. There is no Power Loss and the Car runs great. I returned to my Dealer who after a short road Test diagnosed a Faulty Turbo. In view of the recent work carried out the Car has been booked in for a Diagnostic Check. The Dealer tells me that a new Turbo costs in the region of £600 which will cripple me. The Car has done 38000 miles and has had 6000 mile Oil changes. Any advice before the Car is taken in most appreciated.
Thanks, Mike Tee
