engine managment light having a bit of a problem with my 1.9 JTD Stilo. the engine managment light comes on whenever it there is lots of surface water on the road and i spend 3days after that driving around in limp mode! its quite annoying and fiat have basically said they havent a clue what the problem is and washed their hands of the it! anybody have any ideas?!
Re: engine managment light Not good on electronics but I think I saw something on the erg valve on the jtd some where ..this is situated low down in the engine compartment and gets soaked when we have heavy rain ..and if thats the problem then fiting it up on the battery tray solves the problem I believe.. some of the jtd owners will come along and confirm or denigh this I'm sure..

Re: engine managment light And this without even having a GSR kit on. ;D
Other than mentioned make sure that all connectors are sealed.

I think you mean the overboost valve Phil. It is located low down on the front panel and moving it higher up does solve the problem! The EGR valve is located at the back of the engine. ;)

Was about time that you come up. Hopr it is more often. ;D. We need meet.
Re: engine managment light yeah if your problems directly relate to wet rainy days then i would look at the overboost valve. relocating isnt too difficult and if the problem persists then replacing is even easier.

Re: engine managment light Dave is spot on IMHO - it's almost certainly the overboost valve, had the same problem myself not long after getting my car.
If you take it back to the dealer and ask them if the overboost valve has been relocated on your car - if not I think it's a Fiat technical advice item and it should be done FOC.
Well, mine was.
Even if they say no, it's an easy thing to DIY 8)
