After 73k miles my EOBD light came on this afternoon and stayed on. Basically accelerated from lights, momentary loss of power and then seemed to pick back up, but EOBD light is now on. So a few quedstions,
Can it be read by most garages being EOBD, as my local Fiat garage will most probably not be able to look at it for at least a fortnight?
Does anyone know if there is a common trend of an item that fails?
Worst case scenario of cost, how much for an injector change etc.
I ask this due to the fact the car is due to be either kept or the contract bought out and sold on, so will not wanting further EOBD probs in the future.

Anybody with a half-decent code reader should be able to read and reset the engine management light. The important things will be A: What the failure message was, and B: Will the light stay out again once it's reset!

It may have come on just because of some transient fault that won't appear again if you're lucky

if you start and stop the car 3 times it will reset the computer and if the error isent still there it will shut off the engine light and drive normaly.. but get it checked .. an obd reader for your pc is dead cheap like 25£

When my light came on I had just left a Fiat garage after the ABS recall took it straight back & it was the EGR valve they reset the fault code but it reocurred shortly after. I spoke to the service manager at the dealer I use & he recommended using a fuel system cleaner (cataclean I used £14) & that did the trick for a couple of months. One of the guys at work had a decoder & its easy to plug in. But the fault came back & I had to have the EGR valve replaced bit disappointing as I had had it replaced during the warranty period already but the blow was softened by Fiat paying for the part after an e-mail to customer services & I paid for the 2 hours labour. Hope this helps

Thanks for all the advice, I managed to clear it as advised but it came back with hard acceleration. Maybe due to the fact the sis in law has had the car for the past 2 months so it has been sat in the rush hour traffic to and from Southampton.
Looks like a new EGR, might just have to bite the bullet on this one.

i have had this problem and still have cars in at the moment, it might be down to the clutch actuating switch, the common rail or even the turbo which i have seen as a threat on here are common to fail on the fiat mj engines correct me if im wrong
