Hi all!
I'm new to this forum and need your help!
I have a Fiat 500 1.2 Pop. We bought a backbox from a supplier from ebay which was fitted by a garage but didn't fit properly. It kept knocking on the suspension arm.
I then forked out even more from another supplier to buy a higher spec exhaust backbox (thinking it was because it was a cheap, nasty part) which the description assured me it was a perfect fit and yet again I have the same problem! The mechanic has tried to bend the pipe so it doesn't knock but hasn't been able to solve the suspension arm problem. Has anyone else experienced this problem and how did you resolve it? I've so far wasted around £150 on two exhausts and two lots of labour charge! My husband managed to get the exhaust up on the higher of the two brackets which solved the suspension arm problem but now the pipe knocks against the metalwork underneath.
We are both at our wits end as well as being skint. Am I going to have to bite the bullet and buy a genuine FIAT part??
Any help appreciated
Thanks
