Hi guys,
My wife recently spotted the 'check engine' light on her dashboard (11-plate fiat 500, lounge). She spoke to our nearest official Fiat dealer (SG Petch) who advised there would be a £70 fee simply to investigate why the light has been activated. This fee would be refunded if the issue is covered by warranty (we are currently in the 3rd year).
Do you know if this is their standard approach? Don't they simply plug it into a machine and it tells them what's up?! I wouldn't have thought they'd charge a fee for checking why the engine light has appeared... or am I being naive? Especially when I'm still in my 3 year warranty period.
Many thanks,
Craig
