Don't suppose anyone is breaking a 2.4 and has a good one of these pipes ? The one that goes to the airbox that the air flow meter is connected to. Its p/number 55200851. My Fiat dealer wants a stupid price of £150. I have looked on internet, but I can't find one still for sale anywhere in the world. I understand the pipe is unique to the 2.4 Croma (not even the same on an Alfa 159 2.4). Thx David

If you were to try and order it on that website for around 75 euros, it actually says its 144.20 euro's (German website site I found on the 1st page of Google). Fiat main dealer parts prices are now crazy, I have just paid £16 for 2 small sill plugs for my Stilo. I think they sell the cars at around a break even price and make the money on parts.

They do carry a disclaimer about 'current prices'

For that kind of price you could build a far more durable hose..

My experiences of a used replacement will be well on the way to rotting out..
And a FIAT original will be @12 years old also

The boy racer industry tend to have an array of good quality components

2 hose elbows.. and an alloy tube should fit the bill
Standard 'induction' parts :)
