Hey everyone.
Happy holidays to all and best wishes
I have had my Giulietta 1.4 Multiair since October 2014 and about 6 months after purchase I would occasionally get the start/stop error light on the dashboard. This was easily fixed by turning the car off and back on. I am not sure if the start/stop actually worked or not but I always had it turned off to begin with.
I took the dealer on Monday for its first service with only requests to check the start/stop, break squeezing sometimes and the if there was anything out of ordinary with the car as its mpg consumption was high even though I am not driving the car aggressively (~10l/100km).
I got the car back on the same day and they told me the battery wasn't fully charged so they had to recharge it which would fix the start/stop errors, no issue with the breaks or car relating to mpg. They changed the normal service stuff like air filters, oil etc. I was pretty happy to say the least.
Then last night, while driving in the city, the engine error and start/stop warning light up, the DNA is stuck on normal and won't switch (no error message given though) and the start/stop light on the activate/deactivate switch remains on despite dash saying start/stop is activating or deactivating. I am not 100% sure whether the turbo is working either as I can't hear any turbo whoosh sound but it "seems" that it is active. Haven't driven the car since last night as I don't want to put any unneeded pressure until Monday when I will be taking it to the dealers and only turned on the car while in the garage brefiely to check the engine sound and if the other stuff worked.
I am pretty much gutted and don't know if it's something they did. I will be taking the car to the dealership on Monday but was wondering if anyone has any insight of what the problem/s might be.
