What do I do now?

If the engine light flashes, the car loses a lot of power, overheats or the brakes fail, stop somewhere safe and call for assistance.
If the car drives normally, book a garage and show them this code: its exact meaning and the cause depend on each model.
Tell us what you notice: the diagnosis takes the code, your car and the symptoms into account.

Crankshaft sensor, EGR, wiring and front suspension on the Ducato (from 2006)Known weak points

Engine / equipment: Fiat Ducato 2.2 and 2.3 Multijet (also Peugeot Boxer and Citroën Relay/Jumper)
Period mentioned: 2006 onwards
Symptoms: The engine cuts out when warm and will not restart until it cools (P0335); hesitation and rough idle from the EGR; code P0482 from corroded wiring; increasingly heavy steering, squeaking strut mounts; brake or reversing lights that fail; a new clutch that slips.
Possible cause described: According to the UK trade magazine CAT: the crankshaft sensor fails at around 80,000 km; the EGR is better replaced than cleaned; the wiring loom corrodes (2.3); windscreen water gets into the gearbox through a badly routed drain pipe; gearbox oil leaks make the clutch slip; the top strut mounts and steering rack suffer from heavy use.
Check for the garage: Read codes (P0335, P0482); check the windscreen drains and gearbox oil; fix leaks before replacing the clutch; check strut mounts and light wiring.
Cost cited in the source: No verified estimate; ask the garage for a quote.A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.
