hi all... i am the proud but pissed off owner of the above mentioned car...
paid for the timing belt and water pump to be done just in case...and now after 200 miles she is sluggish and struggles to give any power...engine light is on and im guessing shes in limp home mode....i got a obd reader from ebay but keeps having difficulty communicating with the car...link failure...so ive had a browse on here and found some possible checks...boost valve...egr and filters...now im new to diesels and with no manual for the car its kinda hard to track down these items so any info or advice on both the obd reader and location of bits to check...now on the corsa u can do the pedal test to get code but no joy on the fiat with that one...i dont want to pay a garage whatever it is to tell me it this code or that...so im at a loose end and looking for any useful info many thanks AJ

Hi,
the Ulyssee is a joint venture with PSA who built the Citroen and Pug versions..
I'm led to believe the French kit required is called "lexia"

or try and find more info in the Ulyssee section bottom of FF homepage,

If you have breakdown cover just call them and see if they can give you an idea as to why it's in limp mode.
