Fiat Ducato service

[RichardP]

Apologies if elsewhere, but ..
I had my 22 plate Ducato Moho serviced at an independent. £260 Vs £400+ at Fiat and some confidence it has been done. However the filter light needs to be reset which is greyed out on his diagnostics - an effort by Fiat (and Alfa Romeo) to blank independents. This left us in limp mode and he's looking into resolving the issue.
Has anyone any experience of this issue and knowledge of how to get round it please?

Could the AA RAC or any breakdown service you belong to help

If you are going to travel in Europe do get the service done when on holiday. A service done by Fiat Professional garage will be much cheaper than in Rip Off UK.
This also applies to any repairs.

I had this problem,its a real pain in the rear.
Talking to the main agent and looking on the Internet there may be possible for a DIY reset.
This involves pressing the brake pedal and pumping the throttle for X number of times.
This didn't work for me. I ended up going to a diagnostic specialist who reset the system, then all sorted. He is in Cornwall, not sure of that's a help.
If you can't find a local "2nd level" of diagnostic reset I would suggest the main agent. From memory they were talking about £100, that was 2 years ago.
