Hi everyone new here,
I have had my stilo about a year and a half now with not too many problems but lately I have been having alot of errors.
Airbag failure - repaired using stilo guides
Brake lights not working 2 out of 10 times - need to sort this weekend
More imortantly the engine warning light that doesn't go out. Everytime i start my car, beep beep bloody beep and engine fault on dash with engine fault light staying on.
My stilo is 52 plate (reg early 03 on doc's) Active 1.6 3dr.
About 3 or 4 months ago I kept getting the oil pressure low light coming on everytime a come round the corner to my house, this is very intermittent, and after a top up off oil (did't really need it) it stopped so i put it down to that. Then the engine fault started happening and basically came on a few times now and then, then after a few weeks it came on permanently.
It has now been on for about 3months solid, yet i feel no diference in power at all, if anything it's running quite well, consumption is around 37mpg as usual, but the light on the dash is bugging me now. I do round trip of 60m a day and every two weeks go to leeds from leicestershire and it seems to be running like a dream apart from having to brake with the thought of someone whacking into the back of me due to brake lights.
The last day or so again i have been getting a oil pressure low fault again but the oil level is fine.
The car has always been easy to stall, even when i first got it, and it can idle kind of low, again ever since i have had it (about 1 1/2 years now).
Any ideas on the engine fault light??, or have i got to go to the local fiat garage who are monkeys, they fixed the wifes stilo's airbag fault only to mash the connecter togethor incorrectly and whack a tierap round it and surprise surprise it stopped working (fixed it myself after that).
any help please, love the car but electrics really do suck eggs.
Paul
