Hi, just got a 2nd hand 2018 Ducato 2.3l Adria Sunliving. 40,000 miles.
On our first trip it went into limp mode and could have been a real safety problem on a busier road. Fiat Garage said software update needed, which they performed.
On our way home from garage, after 2 stops, the engine warning light came on again. We returned to the garage and they now advise that it needs a 'valve'. at a cost of over £1k. and take days to fix as they wait for part. we already paid £250 for the software.
We had a mechanic check van before purchasing.
Having checked the recalls our chassis number does not seem to have been included in the 'sleeve detaching' or any other recalls.
I have searched the threads here about limp mode and software but did not see a reference to valves.
Any advice or comments would be very very welcome.
Thank you
