The Panda Cross has been giving me an engine management light, usually on a semi-warmed up engine when pushed to 3,000 rpm or thereabouts. Then into limp-home mode. After a few hours the warning cancels and the car runs normally.
I'm a bit stuck for repairs as I'm away from home in Somerset. Local Fiat dealer have run diagnostics and say turbo failure. I find this hard to believe on a 37,000 mile car, driven sensibly, neither thrashed nor molly-coddled, and regular oil changes with the correct oil, often well before 12,000 miles.
Any comments. I plan not to have turbo replaced but run back up to Sunderland when I am due back. Don't really need the car until then. Any body know of a reliable diesel/turbo specialist in Somerset or the North-East for a second opinion and repair?
Thanks, Chris.
