hope someone can help me, when i am reversing to the right there is a clunk sound coming from the drivers side.
the doblo is only a couple of days old.
I previously had a doblo 1.9 jtd and this was also happening in that
so is this a problem do i need to take it back to the garage?
does anyone else experience this and what did they do the fix it?:bang:

if you've just bought it don't hang around ,straight back to wear you purchased it from

sounds like a possible worn CV joint

i will do if not before i go i will let you all know when i get back (its only for a few days)

Might be worth finding out how much it will cost to hire a similar vehicle for your holiday incase the stealer fails to fix your fault. Mention this to the service manager when you speak to him on Monday - it'll let him know you're not to be messed with.

just a quick note to say thanks to you all, i have been to fiat and they have said that the bearing in the front wheel is gone, so they need to replace it, this will be done on friday as i go away for a couple of days in a hour or so hey did say it was safe to drive so i hope the wheel doesnt fly off on the motorway
anyway thanks to everyone:worship:

wow, dodgy bearing in a brand new car. that doesn't do Fiat any favours if they want to attract new customers .

Hmmm, just seen this and am very concerned by diagnoses. I have noticed a similar sound on my brand new 1.3 Cargo Multijet - just 800 miles new - when reversing on full l/hand lock. I'd have described I as a loud click/crack.
Back to the garage not a realistic option as dealer is approx 300 miles away - an internet buy you see. I think I'll be giving Fiat UK a call ASAP! You're right, this does not bode well for Fiat's quality control.

Fiat UK unaware of any endemic problem but we'll see what the verdict is after steering has been examined by local Fiat dealer on Wednesday. I'll report back on the outcome.

Yup, official verdict - also a faulty wheel bearing. Who'd have thought.
Am I downhearted? No. It's still a great vehicle and, back when I had a series of Passat estates, their rear wheel bearings would go regularly, every 30,000 miles - not enough grease packed into the bearing during manufacture apparently.

thanks for the update,
hope it's all sorted now
