Owned from new and now 35000 miles. Have lived with problem for over 12 mths.
Starts 1st time when COLD and HOT, but after driving up to temperature and
leaving for between 2 and 3 hours very hard to start. Engine turns ok (new
Varta battery) After numerous attempts it starts with a cloud of white
smoke. The problem is worse in the summer than the winter, so it
seems to be temperature related. Fiat examiner shows no faults and there are
no warning lights on dashboard. I guess this is a sensor problem. Any advice
from technical members about where to start would be appreciated.
