Technical Panda Twin Air Start & Stop issue.

[murphyv310]

All the same problems have returned.
So i will start all over again to get them solved.

Oh Dear
So the garage has misdiagnosed the problem...... You should get a refund on the unnecessary work already done.
Good luck.

It cost me nothing, all warranty work.

Thank goodness for that!!

Still 4 months warranty on the car, so if the Problems not have been solved by then, i will trade the Panda in, not planing to have a troubled car after warranty ends.

Smart thinking. Is it just the start stop? How is your fuel economy now?

Start/stop is symptom not the cause.
Fuel consumption has not changed, still the same.

Did they check the battery 'health'?

Yes, it’s flawless.

All the fault codes are removed, and i will wait to see how long they will stay away before returning.
The Oil Temperature Sensor is faulty again, caused by short circuit, most like because of a faulty UNIAir module.

Panda is back at the dealer again for repairs, same issues occur again.
Oil Temp Sensor failure again.

If they replaced it the first time it seems a second failure in a row is quite unlucky. Could it be that they misdiagnosed it originally?

They replaced the OTS and cleaned the UNI-Air module to solved the problem, but it only did for 11 days.
Now the UNI-Air module get replaced by a new one as does the OTS.
