General New Stilo Owner

[PobAloB]

Hey ppl Ive jst got myself a 03 plate 1.9jtd Stilo! (dynamic) so thought id post! picking it up either Friday or Saturday so really happy!

Excellent!

Enjoy - I love my Stilo, although it's a 1.4 Active. The 1.9 jtd is apparently the best one to get, according to what I read when researching the car (after I'd bought mine, of course...did it in a hurry but no regrets).

I'm sure Abarth and Schumi owners will disagree!

Ok ill post some pictures i found out on friday night they were waiting for a part for the door so getting it monday! i was gutted lol the colour is silver/grey.

I have one too, unfortunately the Engine management light came on yesterday, so not looking forward to the outcome from the local Fiat dealership. Love the car though, bought it last week.

 

[PobAloB]

o right not looking forward to that if it happens well if it does its under warrenty for a month = ] so might be ok, which model do you have?

 

[blackrat001]

I've got an 03 1.9jtd dynamiv 16v. Lovely car, but just got this fault now. Hope its not a major problem, hoping its something simple, like a sensor, fingers crossed

 

[PobAloB]

yeah i saw the other post... did you say you thought it was the injection system?

 

[blackrat001]

Thats what the handbook says, injection system failure. I wonder whether it has a driver memory and its gone into safe mode because it now has a different driving style, motor way rather than short town stuff. Wont know till Tuesday, bummer it just sits outside my kitchen window. Owned a marea estate and saloon in the past ( the saloon has been made redundant now and is at the end of my drive sorn'd) and they are such a versatile car, so i thought i'd try the next model up so to speak.

yeah all my cars have been fiats, i started with a M reg punto, then a 52 plate fiat punto with got totaled by a nob in a mitsubishi warrior, then a brava with i totalled on the 6th of jan at 7 mph in th ice. lol now jst invested in the 1.9! its a beast!

 

[blackrat001]

I had to go sensible, the marea jtd replaced my mad nutter 2.6 v6 vectra. what a car.

 

[PobAloB]

ah! thats fine! lol
