General Gutted!!!! Poorly stilo

[Shminkypinky]

Took a shopping trip today and just about to get to my destination when my 1.6 dynamic 3dr stilo became ill!!!!!!
decided to splutter and drive crappy (loosing power) and sound a bit like an old petrol lawn mower - then the engine fault alert came on, 'alarms and spanners' so I pulled over!!!!!!
Rang AA who towed it to Fiat dealer luckily only 3 miles away, who wont be able to look at it till monday!!!!!!
Gutted watching my beloved car go up on the AA truck ramps!!!!!

Anyone experienced similar problems or can anyone tell me what this might be, and will it be covered by my warranty????????
Can anyone set my mind at rest - as im abit worried!!!!!

Let us know how you get on, you're worrying all us Stilo owners with this post, put our minds at rest.

Sill Protectors, Aluminium Foot Pedals, Eibach 30mm Drop Springs.

Not just the Stilo owners are worried. My Brava has the same engine. Best of luck with it.

But without the modern attachments and electronics of course!

True enough, but it's basically the same, and of course the lack of modern electronics means there's less to go wrong.

I've just been refurbing a SU HIF44 carb for my mini, but in this case i might keep it for my Stilo! [)]

don't worry about the warranty I can't see a situation where they don't cover you unless it's somehting like you drove it with the engine oil too low. You done the right thing by pulling over and stoppinh though.

Could be somthing like a coil pack has gone.

indeed it was the coil pack!!!!!!!!

Fixed now and good as new.
Fair play to Fiat though dropped it in on Saturday, obviously no-one could repair it then as no service people in but it was fixed by 11:30am today!!!!!!very quick!!!!
