Exp. Since 2016. Jun 6, 2021. #5. If I remember correctly, when I had a yellow 'check engine' light in my Fiat (140bhp), the Owners Manual indicated there was an issue with the fuel injection although the vehicle could still be driven until inspected by a garage. As it unfolded, I connected an OBD2 (onboard diagnostic) scanner to investigate
I have a 2014 Rapido based on the Ducato chassis. It has done just 9000 miles.I have recently been getting the power steering warning light and message on the dash. I think it is a purely hydraulic power steering system. My local garage says their code reader shows no steering errors.The fluid level is spot on and the drive belt is tight.P0130 definition: Oxygen Sensor Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1, Sensor 1) Issue Severity: MODERATE – Extended driving with this code can cause internal engine damage. Repair Urgency: Get this code fixed as soon as possible to avoid catalytic converter and exhaust system damage. Diagnosis: It is important to complete the entire diagnostic process I have a Fiat Ducato based motorhome, bought new September 2009, with 3lt engine and Comfortmatic gearbox. My problem started in January 2011 when taking the vehicle for its monthly off-season run. When I started the engine I got a warning bleep, a message stating 'Check Transmission' and the gearbox warning light was illuminated. The garage has done a compression test on the four cylinders and the results are 1- 235, 2-150, 3-235, 4-235. If those figures are accurate, then you may have a serious engine problem. Low compression on a single cylinder is generally down to one of three causes: 1. Head gasket failure. 2.
If it is a turbo motor, the turbo will probably be knackered. In my experience, a motor should not seize after such a limited time with no pressure. The residual oil is enough protection for quite a while - except for the turbo. It would be worth examining the crankshaft to determine what damage has occurred before opting for a new motor.
They told me to just reset the car if the check engine light came back on. Fourth drive: 500 km (highways). Same pattern: it worked fine for 2 hours, then the glitches started again. Later the engine light came on while accelerating together with a big puff of white exhaust smoke that lasted maybe 5 seconds.
