Car Forum / Fiat Cars / July 2004Brava: Fuel Injector Light
Hello My injector warning light is coming on when I go faster that 30 mph. The engine is also running rough. Should I be braced for a huge repair bill? TIA Steve > Hello > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > TIA > Steve Hopefully only an injector or two - might just need ultrasonic cleaning. How big the bill is, depends on where you take it !

On my previous Fiat (Bravo TD100) the glow plugs needed changing, something I would attempt myself if it asn't for all the other dismantling en route. Maybe that car engines are now designed to be home mechaninc unfriendly or maybe I am just cynical.

When made there wasn't room to get at anything. Mfrs have an incentive to make jobs take longer, their franchised dealers don't make much profit on selling cars, so they load the mark up on parts and service. If they can charge you for two hours instead of one, then it's more profitable to them. >> Maybe that car engines are now designed to be home mechaninc >> unfriendly or maybe I am just cynical.

Or maybe they just want the cars smaller to sell better?

On going to war over religion: You're basically killing each other to see who's got the better imaginary friend. Just as a follow up one injector needed to be replaced. The cost was ?250 (110 parts, 80 labour 25 for computers diagnostics and the rest VAT).
