I took my car into FIAT as it was spluttering, losing power and the EMS light came on. I was told because i didn't have the 1st year low milage service it wasn't under warranty. They said it was knackered spark plugs so all 4 were replaced. Total cost £127 included diag machine labour and 4 plugs.
A week later and its started again so i have taken it in. this time they are saying its the coils as cylinder 4 isnt firing. Surprisingly, the mechanic ranfg me and said he will replace the coil under warranty (the same one i voided btw). Seems like they have cocked up the first repair and are keeping me sweet by doing it free.
My question is this. did i need the 4 plugs replacing in the first place and have i been scammed paying £127?
