No, MES is MultiECUScan - aftermarket software specific to FIAT family ECUs, so will be able to pick up not only all of the "unknown" codes but also provides realtime monitoring. It costs £50, requires a Windows laptop and an appropriate set of cables, but is a must if you want to do your own maintenance.
As you take the car to a garage, I suspect you're not too handy with a set of tools? So, if we knew where in the country you were, one of us with MES could come and have a look at the car and see what we can see
Thanks for the details, I can do some things myself, just depends on time and cost... I assume http://www.multiecuscan.net/ is the official site for getting the MultiECUScan - aftermarket software?
Other than plugging in the MES, given the symptoms does anyone have a hunch to what it could be? (coil pack, fuel filter, fuel pump etc)
