Just picked ours up after nearly two weeks. The following work was done:
Replaced EGR valve.
Replaced EGR pipe.
Replaced braking sensor on throttle. This apparently chops all power from the engine the moment you hit the brake.
Applied a 'major' update to the EMS.
All free and approved by Fiat Camper Assistance.
Drove about 20 miles home and it's much better successfully climbing a couple of hills on the A12 at 60 in top. The throttle pedal still needs to be moved much further to bring on the power than the one in our 10-year-old X250. I suspect that's to do with the profile that the pedal is now set to. The old van produced full power at about 50% of pedal movement whereas this needs nearer 90% of the travel. It's very noticeable to me as I have a fused ankle and now physically have to move the leg where before the limited movement in the lower foot was sufficient to move the pedal the required distance.
Too early to speak for fuel consumption.
Hopefully this helps others.
