CorrectAs was stated earlier by NF camper ( I think ) , unless the source of the problem has been rectified then it's likely to happen again due to the continued water ingress .
The early x250 Ducatos had an issue with the throttle body. It was orientated so water collected around the actuator. They had a high failure rate that took Fiat a couple of years and a couple of revisions to rectify. Eventually they changed the design so the actuator housing was facing down, and updated the harness connectors.As was stated earlier by NF camper ( I think ) , unless the source of the problem has been rectified then it's likely to happen again due to the continued water ingress .
I appreciate that engineering changes happen but surely any manufacturer would model the impact of any change. With all the predictive analytics tools and design software available to manufacturing design engineers this should not be an issue in todays world. It would be crazy if a design alteration was released without any understanding of potential impact in other areas.Engineering changes happen all the time. They may have made a change to reduce faults in one area, to make assembly more reliable, or to change supplier because they weren't getting enough deliveries. Or sometimes the change is from a supplied part and Fiat won't know anything about it. And obviously, occasionally these changes don't work, or they create a different problem.

And don't forget airbaggate!Juddergate, scuttlegate, steeringate.....?
I just watched one of Jimmy O'Reily's videos on a dpf problem yesterday with a new Vauxhall Vivaro (Renault Traffic/Nissan Primastar) van. He was astounded by how much worse the access was to anything on the engine now (glow plugs, sensors etc) compared to the older models.I appreciate that engineering changes happen but surely any manufacturer would model the impact of any change.

They use tons of tools and analysis. And do lots of testing. But the real world is still way more complex.I appreciate that engineering changes happen but surely any manufacturer would model the impact of any change.
