Hi, like many others our van has been caught up in the EGR recall. We seem to have faired reasonably well, went into our local Fiat Professional dealer (Broxburn) just before Xmas to be assessed, pipe was assessed as burst (!) , needed the full 3 part replacement treatment, and we were advised not to drive it in case of consequential damage. So left with them over festive period, parts arrived this week, so roughly 3 weeks wait.
Complication though was to replace EGR cooler (?) they had to lower the front sub frame and our E&P levellers were in the way, advised that removing and refitting them wouldn’t be covered by Fiat and I would need to pay the labour charge. Anyway job all done, service manager on reflection decided not to charge me anything, good experience for the mechanic! Actually, I think just being friendly and reasonably did the trick!
So, if you have levellers, watch out if affected by the recall!
