How does it work to get help from car mechanics abroad? The engine light in our campervan comes on from time to time. We have has<\/em> asked at several workshops in the past, but no one can find the fault. However, the last few times we have driven it has become worse. <\/p>

Twice we were able to start the engine, but not drive forwards. On the way here to Cala Gonone<\/a> in Sardinia, the tool icon also started to light up, so now we had two<\/em> glowing lights on the dashboard. Time to find a mechanic! But what do you do when you're abroad and don't know the language?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not the first time<\/a> we have a problem with the engine light, but that doesn't make the problem any easier. The owner of the car park Camping Car Palmasera<\/em> (who speaks English) sent us to the nearest petrol station. There we asked \"Mecanico?\" and showed pictures of \"engine light\" on a torn out page from the FIATS instruction book.<\/p>
