Technical Name that part!!

[swan19]

Hello, can i ask for some help please!!

Ive just picked up a 150t and noticed a small pipe has split, and at the same sort of time the injection engine light came on and wondered if they was connected?

Ive attached a pic of the pipe, its the one with the blue tape on in this pic, Ive reattached the pipe but the light is still on, but i understand there is some counter to do with faults, if this was the cause i take it the light will go out if the counter hits 0??

or has something else gone wrong??

many thanks for looking

not too sure without getting a closer look under mine (but im housebound at the minute)

is that your engine bay? coolant looks a little low

Its not a coolant pipe to the turbo is it?

I don't know about the pipe, but fault indicator stays on until 3 or 4 clear starts.

the fault will still be logged, but it won't nag you anymore until the problem returns

thanks for looking, its not my engine bay, just a pic i found on the web.. really hope it was just that coming loose to set the light off, its already had a new turbo about 3 months ago!! let alone more bills from it... would be great BBS if you could take a closer look at yours sometime and give us some clue as to what it does, ive spent hours looking on the web to see if its in a diagram with no 0 luck.. you may well be right Colin, it is in the right area.... but would that trigger off the light??

It's probably a sensor feed that tells the ECU the temperature and O2 in the air that goes through the turbo or something like that.

i'll have a butchers tomorrow in the daylight, feeling better so will be ok to go out for a tiny bit!

Does it go to ur waste gate

 

[Big Black Stilo]

the pipe with the blue tape on it comes from the turbo actuator (waste gate) to a sensor/controller marked EV-153 A374 48813571 12v. i dont know what this part actually does fully, can only guess.

however the actuator pipe controls the pressure. with a split it will have given all kinds of wierd wonky readings the car wouldnt be expecting.

is it an injector light thats showing or the engine management light? can you take a pic of the dash?

 

[Big Black Stilo]

actually, just checked, bravo only has an engine management light like this one:

on fiats the EOBD system logs the fault and stores it and the light goes out as soon as the fault is repaired, but the code is still there in its memory.

e.g. taking off a coil pack lead makes this come on, and putting it back on will turn it off straight away on the fiat. when i did this on a saxo, it would need a few runs of 5 miles or more at temp before it reset itself.

so on a fiat if the light is still on, something is still a miss. has the pipe been repaired/replaced?

how is it running?

 

[swan19]

yea the pipes been replaced and the lights still on, so i guess something else has gone a miss... the car itself seems to run fine as far as I can tell, its smooth to drive and the power seems to be there thou ive not really wanted to push it to high but it picks up ok... if it wasnt for the light on i would say nothing is wrong with it... ive got it booked into fiat next week for them to look at...

if everything is running fine and the power is fine, then explaining that light being on without reading the fault codes is near on impossible, youd have better luck writing down all possible faults and throwing a dart at the list.

once its on the computer, fiat will read the code, coupled with the information you tell them about that pipe spliting and being replaced they'll be able to pinpoint whats going on.

Sounds like it could be an airflow reading related error at a guess.

Did you replace the pipe with a genuine part, or was it just a random pipe? (random pipe may not be behaving correctly)

how have you got on with this Swan19?
