2006 Fiat Multipla eleganza review from UK and Ireland
"Very good, provided reliability can be obtained"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 200 miles the engine control warning light came on and the car suffered a drop in power whilst travelling along the M6. A main Fiat dealer diagnosed a 'clogged particulate filter', fixed things, and the car performed satisfactorily for the next 600 miles when the engine control light came on again with a similar loss of power. A different main dealer has been unable to fix things despite involvement with Fiat and the installation of a replacement engine management control unit. The latest theory is a software problem and I am informed that Fiat are 'close to a solution'. In the meantime I have a brand new car that has been off the road for nearly 3 weeks.
General comments?
Comfortable and fun to drive and with particularly good all-round vision, but what a pity about this engine management problem.
