Car went in 5 weeks ago for timing belt change - drove her twice, broke down twice, AA called twice - cars been a resident at garage for 5 weeks!
Original faults after timing belt and 2 x aux belts changed... dumping fuel, lumpy handling, stalling, bad idle, choking to death
They've changed the belt twice, sent the ECU away for checking - no fault as it is a new one fitted in Dec... changed my plugs that go into the ECU as well as cleaning everything!
The car (or so they tell me) is now driving well, stopped dumping fuel, but ... is still idling on the low.... and has now developed the following...
the engine management light is constantly on, and so it the imobiliser light, open connection.... no fault codes showing
Can someone please confirm that a phonic wheel learn needs to be activated by Fiat (due to belt changes)
also, is there a wire that has been disconnected from the ECU which could cause the imobiliser to show up a warning fault on the dash, but not on the code reader?
Many thanks
