Hi all
I am new to here and I have recently purchased a second hand 2004 Fiat Panda Eleganza for £250!!! ..
Nothing much wrong with it noisey gearbox but runs okay for the money (I'm a learner and needed summet cheap for practice.)
So my girlfriend took my lil yellow bug to her dads and he had a drum of fule 40litre I believe and the car was already about a quarter full. He puts the whole drum in :/ my girlfriend drives it back, on the way it starts acting up as though there was no powere. She only just got the car on the drive after it cut out a couple of times.
Well I got back home from work and she tells me what happens, I sit in her and turn the ignition and well.. It sounds like its running on 3 cylinders and I have to give it gas or else it cuts out.
Does anyone know what the potential damage is here because im thinking, for a start, something is flooded at bare minimal but I got a bad feeling something worserer could have happened .
Her dad is coming round tomorrow to siphon some of the excess out, but I have my doubts this will solve a potentially ruined engine.
