Hi

By Fiat idea 1.4 will not coming out of neutral.... It feels like it wants to move ..... I have checked and top the oil .... Which was only on min .. but it will still not coming out of N..... Any help would be greatly appreciated

Have you checked the fluid level of the dualogic part? It's a reservoir behind the protective metal shield at the front.

Hi. Which oil was on MIN. ?

If the selezpeed/ duologic fluid.... then probably best to plug in and feseterrors etc.

The reservoir under shield.... I have plugged it in and no codes.... You put gear stick in to R or +\- and the N just stays on the display.. you rev the car a little and it feels like it wants to move....

Have you tried putting it into AUTO mode instead of MANUAL and seeing if it will change gears ? I'm assuming the engine starts while this is happening ?

Yes try it in auto and manual.... The oil level on the gearbox do you check when engine is running or off

You might still have air in the system if it was on min when you topped up. Try moving the gear from N to D a few times with the ignition on but WITHOUT starting the engine.

If it then works turn it off an recheck the fluid level. You can use MES to get the gearbox to relearn everything and I think it can bleed the system too (not sure on last part as I have a manual).

And you always check fluids levels when the engine is OFF and cooled down.....

Also check the fuses as per the Dualogic handbook.

Nope..... Still playing.... The car is still staying in N but is now beeping at me... When I put it in to gear ....... Any ideas ???

I think the beeping is to tell you it's in Neutral still. Do you hear the pump start when you open the drivers door as it's supposed to. Check the switch on the door in case the pump isn't starting to work the gears.

Is it just the drivers door ?

Yes, just the drivers door, very distinctive

No pump....no way of selecting gears, works at a very high presssure

Yes the pump is working when door opens

If the oil level was really low when you topped up it might need any trapped air purging from the system. A few places reckon moving the gear stick from N to D rapidly a lot will do this but not so sure, might need a trip to the dealers to purge the system properly.

You'll also need to find out why the oil was dropping so it doesn't repeat itself.

Sorry I can't be much more help as I have a manual...

If you have a copy of multiecuscan then you can bleed the system using that software, either that or pay a fiat dealer to do the same.
