There's nothing more frustrating than heading out to your vehicle, only to find that it won't start. If you own a Fiat Fiorino from 2008 onwards and you're facing this issue, it's important to understand what might be going wrong. With over 15 years of experience as a master tech mechanic in the UK, I've encountered my share of starting problems, and I'm here to guide you through the intricacies of this specific issue.
The reasons behind why your Fiat Fiorino might not start can vary considerably, ranging from the very simple to more complex issues requiring professional attention. Generally, the problem could be due to a failing battery, which is often the culprit in older vehicles; a battery typically has a lifespan of about three to five years. Other common issues include:
Symptoms that might accompany the starting problem include clicking noises when turning the key, the engine cranking without starting, or the complete absence of noise or lights on the dashboard. Each of these signs can point towards different causes.
The repair process usually begins with a thorough diagnosis to isolate the problem. For instance, if your Fiorino's battery is dead, the solution could be as simple as replacing it. However, more complex issues like a faulty starter or fuel system problems might require parts to be replaced or repaired, which can be both time-consuming and costly.
As vehicles age, the likelihood and frequency of such issues can increase, turning what was once a reliable van into a costly endeavor.
Given the potential for recurring problems and mounting repair bills, you might wonder whether it's worthwhile to continue pouring money into your Fiat Fiorino. Have you considered selling your current van and upgrading to a newer model?

It makes it tougher to sell to our network of 4000+ verified dealers, as we have to wait for the DVLA to process a V62 application (usually 6 weeks), so our valuations reflect the delay in sale and storage costs while rectifying missing V5 logbooks.
