On the way home across country in the wilds of Kent in my Cross Plus I had to wade through some water, (not too deep mind as I had watched another car manage it), after I passed through at slow speed I head a flapping noise from the front of the car!
I got out and inspected to find the plastic sump guard had come adrift almost like a sharks mouth, only held on at the back, I noticed that this appeared to be held onto the car very flimsily with only two screw lug & washers!?
On my wife’s old Panda 4x4 it’s actually made of metal.
Anyone else had issues!?
Fiat Assistance came out & did temp fix!
But they weren’t impressed with workmanship either!! Apparently a permanent fix would be to use cable ties in holes!!
