Title: Poorly Panda
Post by: Mr Gav on 09 August 2015, 18:15:47

Only had the bloody thing a day and it`s thrown up a flashing EML on longer journey`s at about 70mph.

A quick scan of the owners book and Fiat forums shows it`s reading high emissions, backing off the throttle and the light goes out, it seems to be a common problem usually by a misfire but the car is running fine but I need to get a OBDII code reader so I can see whats going on.

I`ve downloaded the Fiat Scan software but need a lead and wondering if these VAG/KKL (http://www.omegaowners.com/FIAT-ALFA-VAG-USB-OBD2-DIAGNOSTIC-CABLE-SWITCH-ECU-AIRBAG-ABS-for-MULTIECUSCAN/121686651626?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D29973%26meid%3Da5dd42cddd8f463581a4aa56eb95269b%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D261984099641) leads are any good?

Try a new set of plugs, new air filter, and some cataclean and shell nitro fuel, and then Thrash it within an inch of its life..

Old stylee. :)

I like the sound of that but SWMBO might not lol.

She`ll be taking the car home tomorrow and then be back next weekend so I should be armed with a manual, code reader and some plugs and possibly some plug leads by then  :y

What type is it?

I`ve been looking at software and thinking of getting a lead so I can use my laptop, leads are only a tenner.
