I have a Fiat Ducato 3.0L 160 Multijet, 2007. I have the engine warning light up, although no symptons and seems to drive just fine. I've had someone look at the fault codes which I've listed below.

I want to share my experience with fiat ducato. We have bought 7 ducato vans 2.3jtd during 2008. We must say that we are very happy with their power and space.
