Help. Fiat Ducato Electrical Problems

 · 
Posted: 29.06.2014  ·  #1
I am in big difficulties and would appreciate any advice that someone could offer. I have a 2004 Fiat Ducato 2.8 JTD with 20k miles which has driven perfectly theses last 2years. Recently however the red engine warning light comes on and the engine looses power. The small local garage I use traced this to a bad electrical connection on No2 injector and fitted a new one @ £250. This cured the problem for about 200 miles and now it's back. As well as this the temp. gauge now goes to full scale and then back to zero although the engine temp is normal. Yesterday limping back from Portrush the radio stopped and now wants a code entered.
We are heading off for a trip in 10 days and I am desperate for advice and especially a recommended garage that could sort this out. I live in Belfast.

Many thanks in anticipation

sounds like a major case of dodgy earths? Or corrosion on the ECU plug?

Use a commercial garage not a car garage as in my experience they are better at working on van based vehicles.
