many here including my self have always said running with out the manifold heat shield is fine, maybe this is bad advice when its as hot as it was today,
this is on a 1.4 16v Idea.

Temporary solution as original heat shield has gone some where safe. not sure if it will help or make it worse. its a bit of an alloy lamp shade held on with a giant screw clip.

can't see it being any worse..


TBH , I've never run a FIAT without one..,
looked at buying a few with them missing..,
but they always seem to be the "tired" cars needing LOTS of other work..,
