    Default Engine light comes on but mechanic .....

    :S I have recently bought an Active 1.6 and after a few days I gOt the engine light warning light coming on (as well as the air bag light)telling me to stop. I have taken it to the dealer and he says that it is because oil is getting in to the inlet manifold. Not being mechanically minded, I don\'t have clue whether this is true and if so what I should do to fix the probem. CAN ANYONE HELP?????

    engine light could be anything, certainly nothing to do with the airbag light, should be a few guides on here for the airbag, if not i will grab one.


    whats your engines symptoms? rough, poor idle, loss of power etc?

    Cool Re:Engine light comes on but mechanic .....

    As Mr Red has said ..engine light [management] can be anything ..lambda's.. injectors ..air leaks..throttle body.. the list is endless ..the best way to get an idea of whats going on is to get your car a diagnostic test so any fault codes can be read..many owners are now investing in their own code readers so they don't have to visit a dealer and get stung for an hours labour charge..

    I\'ve taken it to the Fiat Dealer who says that oil is getting into the inlet manifold. But that it is no real problem. I\'m not mechanically minded so it\'s all Chinese to me. But having this effing light light on is a real pain! Where can I get a code reader and do you know how much they are?
