Back at fiat because its under warranty. That shouldn't happen despite your rally driving lol

i cantget it fixed by fiat i avnt got any warrenty so i need 2 buy 1 lol



aj

Why dont you have warrenty. And speak properly ffs

ya got 6 screws in da air box init


(translation)

if you take a look at the front of the air box you will see 6 fixing screws they have a 7 mm head iirc 3 along the top edge and 3 along the bottom this pulls the air box closed it looks like yours are missing therefore its leaking air i just hope for your sake the filter has still managed to filter all the crap out or it could get very expensive

The 6 screws at the front only hold the front section where the filter is. They are only about 2 inches long so dont hold the whole housing together. I think it is glued/bonded in some way. Maybe you can seal it somehow with mastic or similar, could be worth a try rather than forking out for a new airbox. Good luck with it anyway

Andy. His screws are there, the pic is upside down

ahh now i see it thanks Marty :bang:

Edit: If thats the case FFS dont Drive the car it will suck in all the crap especially if you work on a building site as a tempory fix seal it with duct tape and get a new one ordered ASAP!

Thank's Marty for you're relpy you're the only one that gave me good adive.
And to the one who say's "Speak properly" Don't you mean type standard English? And If you're saying that then don't use slang word's for example "FFS", Slang not English.
Oh and it has been taped up I'm not stupid, and the reason I don't have warrety is I mised it and I was away on holiday, so the warrenty would still be void.
Marty any idea what I could use to bond it together glue wise? Thanks.

ffs is an accepted abreviation. What you were writing was just a collection of letters that had been thrown together in an attempt to make a sentence.

but matty still it is still not a word correct go and bug some one else not talking about my english talking about my car so unless you have somthink good to say about me car then dont say nothink else

thank you

Don't worry about it m8 my son has the same problem

Now to fix the airbox. The main problem is getting the thing to stay together so i suggest large cable ties wrapped round it from front to rear and pulled tight. First thing to do is remove it and give it a good clean especially where the split is. Now remove the 6 screws and fit a new air filter then replace the screws. Get the cable ties ready (you may have to join a few together to go all the way round. Now seal the split with mastic/silicone or similar, needs to be heat resistant. Fit the cable ties round the airbox and when you are sure they wont interfere with any mounting points or pipes etc pull them tight to draw the airbox together. If the split is sealed properly then this should be a permanent fix till next air filter change. Leave the airbox for the sealer to cure then refit and test. If unsure i will try to get some pics posted

thanks mate i will try that do you now how much it will cost me for the box tho ? to buy just th housing i have just put duck tape on the top just for now (the car doesnt sound lound now) cause i dont have time till friday so am gonna phone a few people up to see how much they charge for one


thanks marty been a great help you to andy

Dont know how much they are, i'm a fix it myself person unless its beyond repair. A quick call to the Dealer will get you a price. All the best m8
