Technical Fiat Panda - cranking

[marjann]

Hi there guys,

We have a FIAT PANDA with the following spec:
- Engine: 0.9 Twinair 64kw(gasoline and metan);
- Year: 2014;
- Euro 6;
- KM: 131000km

We have the following observations so far:
- From time to time, we are not able to start the car, it will crank endlessly. We have tried for 7-8 times and it will fail. After 10-15 min, the car will start.
- During the day, if it is the first start, it needs more time to start(cranking). After the first start, it starts immediately.

What could be the possible problem/problems that we need to look at?

Thank you for your time!

Kindest regards,
Marjan

Hi

Is this the same on both Liquid fuel..and gas fuel?

We haven't tried it on metan. Only driving it on gasoline.
What might be worth mentioning is when giving a contact to the car, it makes a click. Not sure if the pump is checking something or switching to gasoline.
