Not quite sure why those links don't work. They work fine here, but there's an emoji(!) in the first one, which is a first for me.

First one is ebay item no. 401724264055. Brand is listed as Meat & Doria (not Bosch), who are an ok Italian brand. CarParts4Less is ECP in a different (slightly cheaper) wrapper. Even the contact address at the bottom of the listing is ECP.

Second one is ebay item no. 323328674037. I've not heard of the seller before. The brand is listed as "GH", not Bosch.

I noticed the cross-compatibility links to Alfa. If that's correct, it may be that searching ebay using the Alfa model as a search term may turn up cheaper/better alternatives. Even using the Bosch part number instead of the Fiat one returns a very different set of results on google. As I said before, tread carefully. I can't guarantee that any of these links will bring the correct parts to your door, as I haven't had cause to order them myself.

An alternative would be to give Shop4Parts a call, but you'll pay for the privilege if they can supply. You will get the genuine Fiat part (which is probably Bosch), at a slightly discounted price compared to a Fiat dealer. If you're a donated member on this forum, they may be able to offer you a further 10% discount using the discount code, as long as it's a part they carry as a stock item. They don't give that discount on parts that they have to order from Fiat.


I think the only way you're going to get hold of the Bosch parts (without going to Fiat) is to go to Mister Auto or Autodoc and be prepared for the longer delivery time. As I mentioned before, Autodoc is the place to go if you want the full range of manufacturer choice. It'll be interesting to see what happens with those two once Brexit happens, as car parts are one of the "high ticket" items on the tariffs list.

EDIT: Also have a look at ebay item no. 173328668414 . Again, not Bosch (but Cambiare) however the seller - RT Group - are ok to deal with and I think they are Bosch agents. I've bought Bosch stuff from them in the past. For some reason their listing doesn't give details of any Fiat part number equivalent, but it does list all the Multiplas.


Good luck!

Drop that part no into eBay. You'll get lots of hits. Many of them are for the petrol Multipla? I'm not sure what the exhaust set up is like on Multiplas with a DPF or if it's common to the diesel and petrol for the mid and rear sections, but this one might be worth a closer look, although I can't see a maker's name anywhere:

EDIT: Scratch that. EBay is suggesting parts as compatible, that plainly aren't.

The only comment I'd make is that the original exhaust is of very good quality (we'll, it is on mine anyway) so it may be worth getting onto a local breaker or DAM Fiats to see if the have a s/h one in good nick
