Hi Guys,
First post for me here. I have just returned from FIAT Dealer here in Malta. Basically I was having 2 problems.
Problem 1
"Check Number Plate Lights" Warning. This was solved by replacing 2 bulbs
(FIAT Charged me the ridiculous price of €60. Where bulbs cost €1.21)
Problem 2
"Airbag Failure". This has been there for quite a long time. When I was skimming through this forum I found a very intriguing thing regarding my problem. I was reading the Known Faults Sticky and came accross this.
I am having this exact problem. Sometimes the horn required a very VERY firm press for it to operate. Can it be that this fault is affecting the
"Airbag Failure" thing?
FIAT said that it was the Stiring Column that had to be replaced. However they did not show me the Receipt produced by the Diagnostic tool. The Stiring Column is €260.00...
Can anybody help perhaps? Any insights? Thanks
