Fiat couldn't find any fault codes what so ever. That's the head scratcher. I've rang them and asked if they actually tested the injectors to which I was told no. So they told me that the injectors were faulty and quoted me £1900 to replace without even testing them. They didn't even mention that they could or would test them. Just simply told me that they were faulty. I've rang a different fiat garage who stated that if they were faulty, there would be a fault code. Now I will have to get a garage to test them but if they come back fine, then what? I'm stumped, as are all the garages. Without a fault code, they can't seem to find the actual fault. This is why I'm suspecting ecu. If the injectors are acting in the same way fiat described, but they come back not faulty,it could be an ecu error as they control the injectors. I paid fiat £90 for a diagnosis and in return I got a print out of a diagnostics.

No problem.
As you probably know there are MANY Things that prevent successful regens..
Eg.
Who has serviced the car.. were the oil degradation counters reset.

Where are you based??
These engines are in many cars.. so the garages should know what to do.

How many miles on the engine.. have you had it long?
Still sounds like a basic fundamental to me..
so - what oil degradation index does the FIAT paperwork show?
that's the most common issue with regens,
HP is one of the few FF regulars up in the North East,
maybe worth looking towards Yorkshire ( Scotland is an AC Minefield..)
they may know of a decent garage that actually have the right attitude AND kit.
as you've said you've already received contradictory advice from 2 x FIAT main dealers ( I bet they are "multi-franchise"..)
ok - not a horror story - that's good,
so at what point did it become obvious there was a problem.
IF the injectors are dribbling / over fuelling it will poison the oil - same as failed regens.
the cause of the too frequent regens is the issue here for me.:bang:
as I said earlier this engine is in literally Tens of Thousands of small vans .. all doing our gas and electric servicing..
so there will be hundreds of garages around who've vast experience of these little Multijets.
and charging backstreet workshop prices.. not shiny showroom ones.

I will get the garage to check the oil for me while they check the injectors. I'll also ask them to have a look at my dpf filter while they have the car. Although the readings are ok (30%) it might be worth having a quick look at for any obvious faults. It's due it's yearly service in a few months anyway. Thank you.ok - not a horror story - that's good,

Well I thought I had a full diagnostics report but it looks like it concentrated on the dpf, regen and injectors. So no oil degeneration reading. But I will have this checked.so - what oil degradation index does the FIAT paperwork show?

This probably needs to be merged with your other thread.
I've left a detailed possible explanation of your issues, having threads all over the form means something can easily be missed.
