Hi,

I've got a 98 (S) Fiat Marea Estate 1.9 TD (100)

I've attempted to change the air filter, but found the 2 bolts that hold the top of the air box are just turning, and the top of the air box only lifts about one inch (the 2 side bolts are missing as well).

I've removed the air box mounting bolts (front and rear) and lifted the air box out a bit and saw that the 2 bolts that hold down the top of the air box were just turning in the lower part of the box. To get the top of the air box off, it looks like I'll have to drill the heads off, while some how clamping the bolt - not easy.

This will obviously knacker the airbox, so is there anywhere in the UK (apart from Fiat) that could supply a complete unit including mounting screws? Also, is the air box specific to the TD Marea, or is it common across the Marea petrol engines and / or the Brava / Bravo cars

It looks similar to the 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 boxes but i'm not sure if they can be swapped, I'll see if I can find out.

Dave,

Cheers Mate

I've checked with Fiat and its only £50 or so for a new one - so I've ordered one ...... this way I know that it should be correct, & if it isn't I can take it back.
