Alfa 147JTD

The wife's just had her 147JTD '55 plate back from the local garage from its 30K service, and its now developed some little problems,

She's now got intermittent ABS, Airbag, Immobiliser, ADR? ASR? & an EBD caption along with a 'no oil' warning.

This sounds like the garage has disturbed a connector on the back of the dash, has anyone had any experience of this before I start either shouting at the garage or pulling the dash apart?

Cheers

why would they have been at the back of the dash on a service ?

I wonder if they ran the engine up with the wheels of the ground that would confuse the abs but you seem to have a host of faults

these things happen best to ask them to take a look at it see what the problem is before saying it is there fault

You have to take the dash out to get to the dipstick - don't you know nuffink?





If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

She's just had it back from the garage, apparently the ignition switch contacts are breaking down giving false signals to the ECU?

I'm not sure about this, if they'd told her a speed sensor had failed I would've accepted this without question, anyone had similar?
