Hi all,
I asked for some help in the Multipla section, but also wondered whether the 1.9 JTD engine is also in other Fiats so maybe I could get some more advice?
Anyway, it's a friends Multipla 03 1.9 JTD. Was running ok, but then it started mis-firing and kangaroo'ing at low speeds. The induction noise was considerably louder as well.
It seems to have lost power and won't rev over 3000 rpm in any gear. If you try and rev it, it feels like a rev limiter is kicking in.
On top of that, the power steering pump light has come on, and now when you switch the ignition on the dash gives the warning "Engine control faulty - see garage".
Is this bad or is there anything I can do to it myself? I've driven it before in the past and it really flew, but now it seems like the turbo isn't doing anything.
Any pointers of what I can do and where to look? Also, any descriptions/ pictures of what I should be looking at as I've never done any work on one of these engines before. Or is it a case of taking to a dealer for diagnostics?
Many thanks for your help,
Chas
