Technical 2013 1.2 Panda

[Lee Cattle]

Hi, hoping for a little bit of advice. I recently bought a 1.2 panda to use when I am over in Spain, it's a LHD Spanish plated car. Car has about 70k on it and is in good condition, unfortunately though it has an intermittent fault. Basically what happens is that if I go above 110KMPH the car sometimes seems to stutter, the engine warning comes on and the car runs very lumpy and with no power, if i turn the ignition off and back on the fault.goes and the car runs fine. It's done it around 10 times now and only when above 110KMPH, I have been up steep hills with high revs and it's fine. I'm going over in a few weeks and taking a OBD reader over but just wondered if anyone has had anything similar.

When fault happens does the engine light flash? Or stay on steady?

Hi, it stays on, the seems like it's only running on 3 cylinders and sounds rough. I usually pull over and turn the ignition off and on again, the light goes off and the car runs fine again.

I took it up a mountain the other week, no issues at all going up some very steep hills, got back on motorway and went above 110KM on a downward stretch and it faulted.
