[49gamesunbeaten]

North East Truck & Van York - stick or twist? Fiat Ducato 130, x290, 2015, 24500 miles, EML codes .. P2452-11 & P2454-29 dropped off at above place this week, Monday 22nd, they called shortly after "we can clear the errors and you can pick it up as nothing wrong with it"!, fine i'll pick it up in the morning (Tuesday) They called Tuesday morning (Yesterday) "leave the van with us as the eml light is back on". I called this afternoon for update, they said "they havn't yet found an answer, but our top technician has so far spent 4 hrs @ £130ph on it. They have no answers but will continue to search". does anyone know any other garages who could help at lower hourly rate. the bill is increasing as we speak and i'm wondering what to do, as anyone else experienced this with the above garage? Many thanks.

Dpf pressure sensors by the looks of things. May need the dpf life resetting and a forced regen.

Get it out of there quick it will finish up costing you a fortune, plenty of good independent garages around.

£520 so far and no wiser.

Sounds very similar to my experience!

I’d cut your losses if I were you. I ended up with a £700 bill at NE truck and van at Immingham and they did sod all. Bunch of cowboys and left the van in a right state.

I'd take it somewhere else before they start firing the parts cannon at it.

Hi Paul, can you recommend anyone, you seem to be in my/our part of the world?

Hi Lisa, I had similar problems last year and took to 3 garages who kept replacing sensors at between £300-£400 bills but eml kept coming back on. eventually took it to NETV York who said they are the only garage who can fix it with their software, they repeated the same work all the others previously did for £500! Thanks

I ended up taking the van to PK automotive in Lincoln. Fiat professionals send their “tricky” work to them. They don’t have a problem with their software. Diagnoses what Fiat can’t

North East Truck and Van, York

The dealer, North East Truck and Van in York has serviced our vehicle for the last 3 years and so has had a good amount of loyalty from ourselves. The airbag warning light was showing and the off side day time running light was out. Particularly the airbag potential problem had to be fixed for...

I think I would be out of there pretty quick and would not want to pay as they are not even capable of using diagnostic equipment ( 4 hours and still no answer)
I would say I don’t mind paying if you knew what your doing

Steve, they know exactly what they are doing. My van was in a locked compound and they wouldn’t release the keys until I paid up. Unless things got really messy, that van was staying put and I didn’t fancy a visit from the police so I had to pay up. It was a horrible experience and they were complete a.holes.

I must admit all new vehicles and complicated ecu and electronics is what would stop us renewing our current van

Why can't these so-called garages realise that fault codes are SYMPTOMS not faults? Well it's because they are trained these days to follow what it says on the computer screen.

You need a garage that's used to the foibles of Fiat Ducatos. If your local health/authority uses Ducatos try finding out who does their servicing. People slag off Fiat Professional but I have to say that FP at Washington (Tyne & Wear) went straight to the problem after I'd spent upwards of £600 on garages who said they'd fixed it but it came back a short time later.

Exactly why I went to Pk Auotomotives. They deal with high spec police cars and Ambulances etc

TerryL has it in a nutshell, I had issues with my ABS, warranty garage had it for ages and eventually said they'd some change parts (??) but the issue came back soon afterwards. Went to the local garage who also works on the regions ambulances etc, they found the issue, sent it away the part, repaired it and no issues since.

Cost me over £3000-00 for the Immingham branch to diagnose a broken wire above front shocker which kept sending it to limp mode and for recovery to there place when they broke down after collection from me . The parts was £2.50 . Never again is it going there
