Approx 2 weeks ago we let the fuel level run down until the dash board warning light for low fuel came on. After I put some fuel in the tank, I noticed that another light had suddenly started to come on. It is red and we believe that it is the injector light. The car is now running on 3 cylinders.
The local garage (not fiat expert) has diagnosed 2 poss causes -
The wiring from injector to engine may have snapped be loose.
The injector has packed up.
Have been quoted a minimum of 3 hours labour just to strip down engine to get at parts, then find out cause and fix it.
The bill would be around the £300 level.
Does anyone on this forum board have a) the instructions for this job and how long it realistically should take for a competant mechanic
b) If we could DIY the job
c) Should we find a fiat dealer/garage who should be familiar with car and fix it quicker?
We do not have much spare cash and we need the cheapest quickest option. Thankx in advance.
