If your car already has the drainage pipe mentioned in posts 3, 4 and 11, then yes.

This may sound stupid but on the picture above is the old part the bit on the left and the new part on the right!?
I have a 60 plate punto with the part on the right I think!!
Thanks!

Correct. Not sure when the fix was introduced. Ridiculous design flaw though. Only a medaterranian (lol sp?) country could pull that off.
I didn't get this sorted last year. Deffinatley gettingit sorted thie year, just emailed my dealer to see if they have the part.
I paid about £6 for it from memory. A dawdle to fit.
Thanks for the advice in this thread guys. I've fitted the new drain pipe but when testing with a bottle of water I noticed a lot of water draining out further to the O/S. It's not going on the alternator but the soundproofing/heatproofing at the back of the engine bay is completely soaking, so much so it ripped apart like paper.
Is there an online supplier I could get the modified drain sleeve from?
After a cracked alternator casing at just 20k miles, it's time I sort this out. But I really don't want to go to my local Fiat dealer, they usually don't stock anything and they'll just rip me off.

I bought the part for my '06 1.3, but can't find where it fits either, although rain doesn't seem to fall on my alternator (I guessed diesels must just be different designs). Unless someone can show where it fits on the 1.3, want my modified hose that's currently sitting there doing nothing? (that's what I say to all the girls )

it replaces this drain:
it the new one should be fitted so the bend is to the passenger side
Never actually done one however i would guess the top looks very similar to this...
flex the old one out press it round the edge and pull it slightly to "unhook" it then flex the new one in a bit of oil on it might help if its stiff....

cant see the difference personally did a fiat panda from below as it were no issue...
