Fiat Ulysse 2004 2.0JTD Auto. Bulbs are now working....intermittently. Car was up for sale this week so took it out for a drive this morning as someone coming to see it and wanted to check everything was well, no such luck. Car started and pulled away perfectly fine. I live in West Wales surrounded by hills and mountains so coming out of our village is ver steep. Got to a blind junction on a very steep section of road, slowed down, went to pull away when it was clear and the car wouldn't move. Engine ticking over but no movement at all. Had to roll it back down the hill till I was on a flat piece of road. Turned off the engine for 10 seconds and restarted and it flew over the hill without insident. Coming back up the hill from the opposite side it did the same. Really gutted. Engine management light on and anti pollution, diesel additive warning on screen. Is this the problem. Please can some one help me. Or does someone want a cheap car that drives perfectly if you have no hills to attempt. Arghhhhhh!!!!
 
Hi, what mileage is on the car? There are 2 types of diesel additives, one needs topped up at approx 80,000 miles , the later type at approx 100,000 miles. If this is the case, you will need it topped up, cars computer reset and possible particle filter regeneration, at a peugeot, citroen or Fiat dealer or specialist. Dealer prices could be £400-£500 depending on which additive you require. Keep us posted, and best of luck, Brian.
 
Can you tell me the name of the oils. I know one is EOLYS176 but what is the other.
Thank you
