Fiat - IDEA 1,3 16V JTD MULTIJET Engine overheated

**jegr** · 03-10-2011

Hi there!! i am also registered in other forum of motor talk.de, I was trying to figure out about some warnings at the computer of my fiat idea 1.3 diesel 2005.

This winter was so cold, like -15 degrees and in the morning, when I started my car, I got this warning about ENgine Overheated!!!! too hot!!! what, but the car was TOO COLD!! the first time I checked oil, I checked the coolant, and everything was alright... then I did drive and everything was ok. I turned it off and started again when the engine warm was and I didnt get the warning again... now i do not care about this, the car is fine...
until yesterday, that also -15 degrees and I got 2 more warnings, one about the hillholder that was not working and the other one about ASR also defect.
After warming the car and starting it again, the warnings are gone for ever until next day in a cold morning.

has someone of you experienced already? Should I worry? is it going to be worst?

i wouldnt worry mate
it's probably due to the extreme cold temps that is messing with the electrics
maybe there is water in the fuse box in the engine bay?
have you check all electrical connections in the fusebox? or engine bay?

Have you checked the battery? May be low voltage due to the temperature as battery's don't like the cold. Might be time to buy a new one.
