Should the turbo and EGR be covered by the warranty on a Tipo?
All servicing and regular oil checks have been carried out. I have contacted Fiat regarding my (very expensive) issue and they seem to be doing anything they can to avoid paying for repairs.

I assume this is the original 3 year fiat warranty your talking about?
What did the dealership say who you took the car to for the work?

Hi

If its private use within sensible mileage constraints

AND servicing has been carried out to the book then yes you should be covered

It is 2 years from FIAT uk
+1year from dealer

As above..
Some FIAT service agents are far better than others..
So feel free to shop around

With my £550 per wheel alloy issue

Supplying dealer swapped 2

The place that serviced it supplied the other 2.. far better people to deal with

Tell us more..

Yes the warranty is the new car three year warranty. Fiat customer services have asked dozens of questions ranging from 'what direction were you travelling?', ' what was the weather like?', 'when did you last put fuel in?' as well as asking for photographs, recepits, diagnostic print outs etc. They did not seem interested in when I had checked coolant and oil levels or the condition of the tyres. The car has only done 40k and the cost of repair would be huge.

Hi again

Is this FIAT UK (slough)

Or the European call centre?

I wouldnt be too suprised if work has been 'farmed out' due to Covid

Anyway it does seem a strange line of questioning..

Is vehicle throwing losts of errors.. or physically broken ?

Charlie

Have you taken the car to a dealer or has it only come around post lockdown?

I have had a diagnostic on the vehicle which has said that the EGR and turbo are knackered. Oil level was fine 6 weeks before breakdown and no warning lights to suggest any problems. I am dealing with Customer Services in Slough.
