Engine management light

Well that follows the symptoms I had. Unfortunately I do not have that MoHo anymore so am not exactly sure if I am able to give correct instructions. Underneath at the rear of the engine centrally and near the exhaust pipe deep in you should find a plunger with push rod and this should move. Hopefully somebody more technical can assist. I purchased a blanking plate do isolate this valve as it appears a common problem but never fitted, but still carry. I wish you all the best.

Our 2004 2.3 JTD doesn't have an EGR valve so its quite likely Annie doesn't have one either :) I think only the face lifts had them?

Have had a similar problem with a 2.2 Transit. In the mountains when I have laboured the engine light comes on and goes into limp mode. Stop restart no problem. Have Torque Pro and a BT OBD adapter throws a turbo boost code. As problem hasn't happened lately will get garage to check associated sensors before delving deeper!
 
Thats interesting as I did a quick search for Annie's MoHo and it came out with the 2.8JTD, which was the same engine I had. Hopefully problem can be resolved.

Yes that's the correct engine for my Moho Fiat have rung me back and rebooked Friday am as it gives them more time for a complete diagnostic and a safety check of all wheels tyres brakes and discs fluid levels £90 so rebooked for the lot.

at least if it got to go back under warranty you will have some ammo to pass on and with it being a main dealer he shouldn't argue with that I ssume he not a main fiat dealer

No I bought it from a dealer down in Bedfordshire but he has said he will sort out any issues so we will see.

I have a 2002 2.8JTD and it doesn't have an EGR valve, or a catalytic converter, it makes them a little bit simpler
 
Hi, I've had those same symptoms,it's the turbo actuator sticking,the pin on the waste gate seizes to the actuator arm preventing it to open and relieve turbo pressure.. So the electronics relieses this and through the management light and limp mode(sometimes).... previous owner probably never drove it like a delivery van... get the garage to free it up.. Mine snapped, had to make a new conection but all Ok now.. no more light or limp mode up hills..
 
Coming back from France last week our light came on we stopped to check Fiat manual which said it would be ok to drive on but not to strain engine. Took it to local garage to have the fault read, it's a injector fault on cylinder 2.
Hopefully it will not be too expensive

Hope yours is a simple fix
 
yes agree with above, mine was 2 x injectors, but as said elsewhere Campervanannie, could be a myriad of things, all sortable :) no panic..

Limp mode is cool, you can limp home !

for everyone, I have the full diagnostics for Cit/Pug if you are stuck anywhere near me :) Malbec is good, Margaux is better!

I got it home but it struggles going up hill and in Scotland that's not good and when you are traveling with a speed freak cough (Daisymini) cough it doesn't help but hopefully Friday Fiat will tell me what is wrong and fingers crossed the dealer will foot the bill.
I'll keep you all informed.
 
yep :) when I picked mine up, it broke down 10 times in 6 miles ;) , it wasn't so much 'limp' as 'leave it and walk'!

anyway, it will be ok.. we will all await the diagnosis .. and dont get scared at brand new dealer parts prices, just let us know what they say first!
 
Bad luck Annie but it is sortable,as others have said it could be almost anything.I had a similar problem with my previous Autotrail with the 04 Fiat Ducato 2.8JTD engine,the engine management light came on with a marked loss of power and after taking it to a local auto electrician with the correct diagnostic equipment it was a faulty wiring loom on no.4 injector.

It was simply a case of replacing the faulty loom,total cost £130 which was mainly labour as the loom was less than a tenner.I was told that this is a known issue on this engine and he did keep a few looms in stock.

If the motorhome dealer is decent and honours the warranty then a franchised Fiat garage ought to do the job.We have a couple of excellent auto electrical specialists nearby with all the correct diagnostic equipment and if I was paying for the work would use them as they are cheaper and do just as good a job as a main dealer.

To update my engine light was caused by electrical fault on injector for cyliner 2 apparently it a common fault. Picking van up tomorrow night £377 which includes 2 new michelin tyres.

I had the same fault on the same injector in Spain. Fixed for free after an ADAC callout ...
 
I had the engine warning light coming on in yellow a few times toward the back end of last year , each time it came on I used the reader and it was the turbocharger sensor , I cleared the light and carried on thinking I would get it checked when it went for service in a few months , but before it was due for service I was on a site and ready to leave , turned the key and nothing , no lights on ignition nothing , I call green flag and they initially thought the battery had died , but after investigation they found it was the engine to chassis earth , they cured that problem and everything was fine .
That was in January , since then (touch wood ) the light has not come on again , so I assume it must have been linked to a failing earth lead .
When it went for service I asked them to put it on diagnostic and check , they said all ok no problems
 
Sat at the Fiat dealership while they poke and prod le snoopy to find out what the light is all about will update later.
