Hello all.
Fiat brava 1.2L 2001 model
Had my exhaust pipe clip at the back break and cable tied the exhaust up to hold it on while planning to get it replaced. 2 days ago went to drive and the car was rumbling quite a bit. Drove some more and a dodgy smell came into the car and the engine management light started flashing. Got home and booked a kwik fit appointment.
Took it in today and they changed the exhaust as it had a few holes. Said the catalytic converter was fine as i was convinced that this was the problem. Plugged in computer and said it was misfiring so changed spark plugs and coil pack. Said the light was gone but need to change ht leads anyway but have to wait for delivery on tuesday.
Drove out and within 5 minutes the light was back and car struggles to accelerate. Phoned kwik fit who told me that it's still ok to drive and the ht leads will probably fix the problem. Probably...
What do you guys think? I've read bad things about kwik fit and don't want to spend more and more on maybe this and maybe that
Thanks
