Fiat Stilo

No as it is a pipe that is part of the radiator, it doesn't screw in as it is part of the plastic moulding. You're asking for a part that doesn't exist.

NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. You have the mechanical knowledge of a 2 year old.

Conor the part does screw in - as its in front of me in to fu*king pieces!!! believe me it screws in.

And yes the stilo which I have has 10789 miles to go before the computer needs reset to 12000 miles again for the next service so how have I the mechanical knowledge of a 2 yr old??

I stand corrected! First time I've heard of it.

See above but simply knowing when a car next needs a service does not a mechanic make.

I didn't say it did - all I want to know is can I reset the computer so its doesn't flash service for the rest of the cars life after I service the car - I service all cars I have owned this is the first one where resetting the computer is causing a problem - all I want to know is do I have to get the reset done by the monkeys at my local Fiat dealership?

Martin

Don't know about the Stilo - the page below gives detailed instructions for the Multipla - might be worth a try:

How did you learn about car servicing? Did start off knowing nothing and learn whilst you were doing it?

Everybody has to start somewhere...

I would be very suprised if the main dealer can't order that part for you.

It's got nothing to do with that, Conor. I have a Stilo Abarth and until the service indicator is reset it will always flash up "Service" on a multi-function display unit in the dashboard every time you start the car.

Thanks Al for that web site I will try it and see what happens

James as for the part they say it comes as part of the rad at £140 lol chicken fed lol

Martin

Al thanks again - but it doesnt work on the stilo :-( aww well thanks again it was worth a try

Martin

part of the

a whole new

Find a small local jobbing engineering shop, and ask if they'll make the part for you. Or send the broken bit's or a dwg to me, and I'll make it for you. Probably for less than a tenner inc P&P. Mike.

Mike thanks very much - a local guy that does rad. recoring has put a metel inlay into the main plastic fitting - it seems to be ok if it does break again I will take you up on your offer - the problem is without this fitting in the expantion bottle drains - and if you put a small bolt in the rad where the fitting fits the car eats the petrol, and heats up very quickly (to opp temp.)

Martin

PS - I think the service light needs to be reset by Fiat :-(

You could ring round , Lucas's Laser scanner should reset it (but it's rather more expensive than paying Fiat) & most independent Fiat specialists should have something equivalent.

Nope, I started off at a Land Rover dealership as an apprentice and pushed a broom.

After driving a lorry at work last night that did the very same thing I'll conceded I was wrong. IT'S SODDING ANNOYING!!!!
