'Engine Fault' - Strange one this actually. Got it yesterday morning as I started up for go to work. Problem remained through a few clean starts. Rang my local garage to get booked in to have the code read, they told me it'd cost me £30, I told them to ram it . So I began looking for a cheapo code reader in our local motor factors and car bits shop. They didn't have any in, and couldn't even order a compatible one (Draper don't make ANY Fiat specific tools hardly?! losers!) Anyway, I left the shop, started the engine and the poxy light had gone out
What confuses me is that it flashed up, but there was nothing noticably wrong with the car. It ran fine, performed normally, and didn't do anything unexpected. I've had no work done recently, so there doesn't appear to be any cause of the problem. It's got me toally stumped Is this just one of those things? I actually got quite excited...it's the first error message I've EVER had from the car in over 2 years. I'll say that again for all those people who hate the Stilo.
FIRST FAULT WARNING IN OVER TWO YEARS
I haven't had chance to have a proper look yet, but it's been very wet recently, so I'm wondering if the infamous D9 could have something to do with this?
Anyone had similar issues?
EDIT: Should add actually that I'm finally going to jam a crow bar in my wallet and buy one of these.So I should get some idea what's playing up!
