Technical EBD and ABS failure

[sharief]

Yes it was external not internal so I'm doubting it was that, and in any case like I said I wasn't jet washing very hard.

Not sure where the ECU is.

Sharief, so sorry to hear of your troubles.
You have done nothing wrong in pressure washing the exterior of your Panda. I've done it with mine for nearly 3 years with no bother at all. Don't even mention it when you finally get to the dealers to get the car fixed.
I just hope that the car is fixed satisfactorily and that God then grants you years of trouble-free Panda motoring as he has to me.

Cheers, hopefully it's just a one off. Hopefully.

I noticed on mine today that the underbonnet heat had caused the clutch fluid to expand a bit. It was pushing its way out of the reservoir (ovrefilled at the factory) and some was dripping onto the ABS unit.
Some idiot designer has placed the clutch fluid reservoir right over the ABS hydraulic unit and ECU!

Probably some graduate that has never held a spanner in his hand in his life. Fiat should take the initiative & let some good techs help design cars.

Hi all this just happened to me tonight. 2004 Panda Dynamic with 120,000 on the clock. Wouldnt mind but I had a full service at the local Fiat garage last week and also it passed its MOT the other day.

Cant be sure but I think that there is a light rattling on the back right wheel suspension. I actually mentioned this to the garage but they said there was nothing wrong with it. Garage not open til Monday now but I have to work tomorrow. Is it normally ok to drive ? The manual says drive with care in case of hard breaking it may cause skidding
