Ducato Oil Level Sensor

Posted on 13/08/2020 18:41 by SeasideBill

Anybody here experienced the generic fault warning light? It’s the amber triangle enclosing an exclamation mark. Mine's been lighting up intermittently so took into Fiat Professional dealer today. Turns out it’s a faulty oil level sensor, a relatively cheap part, but 6 or 7 labour hours to fit! 

My Fiat 150 Multijet is less than 5 months out of its 2 year warranty, so now gearing up for a fight with Fiat as research indicates this is a common problem and lockdown has obviously reduced the time available for the fault to emerge and be diagnosed. The Fiat dealer is assisting me in making representations to Fiat - fingers crossed.

Was it purchased new as I thought that all vehicles bought in the UK have a 3 year warranty on parts and labour.

I know that but the post is about the Fiat.

Our Hymer (Fiat base) is only two years, I thought that was fairly standard. Sounds like a very expensive sensor. I'll keep my fingers crossed🤞that if it is going to go wrong, it does it in the remaining 6 months of warranty. Although due to Covid, it is unlikely we will have done more than 7000 miles in it by then.

Oh although my Nissan had 3 years. OH's Toyota had 5 years.

We may have to go back to the old steam driven method of  inspection of the dipstick at periodic intervals.
