Brava: Fuel Injector Light

Hopefully only an injector or two - might just need ultrasonic cleaning. How big the bill is, depends on where you take it !

If it is just the injectors that need cleaning why not try one of those petrol additives; not too expensive and worth a try first.

I used Advance Petrol so unlikely to help - it's in the garage...where the mechanic said that "everything in a Fiat is difficult to get to..."

Yep. On my previous Fiat (Bravo TD100) the glow plugs needed changing, something I would attempt myself if it asn't for all the other dismantling en route. Maybe that car engines are now designed to be home mechaninc unfriendly or maybe I am just cynical.

Once worked with a draughtsman who drew everything 2X, 4X or 10X. When made there wasn't room to get at anything. Mfrs have an incentive to make jobs take longer, their franchised dealers don't make much profit on selling cars, so they load the mark up on parts and service. If they can charge you for two hours instead of one, then it's more profitable to them.

Too bloody right! I'm trying to change a Tipo rdiator (without a Haynes manual as there isn't one :-/)

Or maybe they just want the cars smaller to sell better?

Just as a follow up one injector needed to be replaced.

The cost was £250 (110 parts, 80 labour 25 for computers diagnostics and the rest VAT).

All the best
