Hello All
Be kind, this is my first post and total newbie to this forum.
Have had my 500 1.2 Lounge since last Oct. Had some problems with the stop/start over winter months but put that down to lots of use with heater being on etc... but once weather got better and no improvement took it back to the garage. They had a look at it and told me it was a problem with the alternator and changed it.. that was about 6 weeks ago.
Had less problems but still getting the triangle warming light come on ( on reversing sometimes) and other times out the blue.
Its going back to the garage on monday for another check.
Today while driving around I pulled up at some traffic lights, stop/start worked fine... went to pull away and the car seem to cut-out and go back into stop/start mode. This happened a 3 times before the engine started working properly. I had this happen a couple of months ago and though I had done something wrong but wierd it happened again today. Is it me ?? do you think or anyone else had this problem?
I love little car and have wanted a 500 for years but this stop/start on it is really putting me off.
Any thoughts please? am I just being a rubbish driver or do you think there is a problem with my car?
As said its off to garage again on monday and want to go armed with info if it is faulty. Thanks all appreciate your advice. xx
