Hi all,
I’m new to the forum. I recently bought a Punto Evo (Multiair 105hp). I was told by the dealer that in order to have an oil change I need to drive the car to them. When I asked why I can’t do it myself I was told that the engine has a “sensor” which measures the oil quantity. Ok, fine with that no problem. He then continued saying that the reason why this sensor is there is because whenever the[FONT="] oil is drained from the sump and refilled again with new oil the engine doesn’t run smoothly and valves make a noise. In order to cure this “problem” they use their diagnostic software to cancel this fault and so the engine after that continues to run smoothly without any strange noises.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Is this true? Does anyone know? [/FONT]
