Fiat 500 1.3 Multijet 95 Diesel 2010 reg
My daughter’s car had big issues noisy, lost power you name it, its along story ………
Anyway was told it was oil pump. Timing chain and cover etc., she couldn’t afford garage repairs and as I’m retired and used to ‘Tinker’, bought a Haynes manual and said I’d give it a go …….
I had my suspicions and once sump dropped, Wallach! Bits of smashed up shell bearing and No 4 big end cap rattling away nicely.
Engine out crankshaft in a bad way No 4 con rod and big end cap knocked out.
Sent crankshaft to be re-ground, new oversized shells bearings all round and a replacement con rod.
Rebuilt engine new head gasket etc. Sump bolts to casing needed re-threading, thread coils and new bolts fitted.
On start up once fuel got through she stated and runs lovely.
BUT …. Oil light remains on and “insufficient oil pressure stop and turn off engine” warning, she has no power and will not rev over 3000.
Renewed oil switch in case defective, checked turbo operation all seems fine. Checked and rechecked every conne3ction to everything.
There is a clicking sound when engine revved but goes away when settled down to idle, she will start immediately the key is turned and will idle smoothly.
The Oil light remaining on and “insufficient oil pressure stop and turn off engine” warning is exactly the same as before I started .......
All suggestions gratefully received ...... thank you.
