Hi all
I have GP 1.4L 8V Duallogic 2007, done 68K km.
I like to drive at high Revs and every 6m~year I clean the TB from oil .
this time my BREATHER HOSE needed replacement and I got the new model that fills like silicon, I made small hole and sealed the old connector and now no more oil can enter to the TB, what do you think? now the BREATHER HOSE end is ~50mm higher so its less likely that the oil can get out, I will continue to check if everything is OK next month.
and finally- why the Hell Fiat engineers choose to place the air filter box on the hottest spot on top of the exhaust??? I get almost 40C hotter air in the intake over the ambient temp! look what it does to the plastic:
