I am suffering from a zero reading fuel gauge and a flashing light on my Euro 5 Fiat Ducato based Dethleffs. Having read threads on here about Fiat being prepared to repair this fault, I rang up my not so local Fiat Professional dealer who had been recommended by my MH dealer.
They kindly contacted Fiat and got the all clear for some kind of fix on the instrument panel. So today I duly did the 120 mile round trip and waited while they fixed it. Half an hour later and 'All done, sir'. I jumped back in the seat and whaddya know? Still got the zero reading and flashing light. I went back into the garage and the mechanic says he thought he was fixing a faulty warning light.
He then tried disconnecting the battery and on re-connection, hey, light stops flashing and gauge shoots up...... For one second!!
At this point, the technician ran out of ideas and says he'll have to book it back in for diagnostic checking. Spoke to the main man who said that he could not say whether Fiat would stump up the costs until they found out how to fix it.
Anyone got any ideas as to what I should direct them to so that I don't face a huge diagnostic bill?
