giving honest experience advice of a product that i have used on the same engine, yeah i though it help full too
you seem to be confused now Dave, giving you the benefit of the doubt
either that or you are being nasty
Mht be good if the triumvirat stops barking and help finding a solution for the original posters problem.
This then would aid other users having the same problem.

Stop messing about and go back on topic. It might do you well too for your ego.
The thread is about a pipe falling off and nothing else.
If you don't have gotten what it is then do not comment.

Still no news from the dealer about getting this part.
By the looks of it my car will have to remain without any induction piping till January.

put a wanted ad up in classified mate, loads have fitted aftermarket kits, one may let you have his/hers old bits
or you could just upgrade the standard intake pipes with silicone ones from Samco or SFS like:

the standard plastic moulded pipe that attaches to the throttle body inlet looks restrictive so the above cannot be worse

has that dude not just used half samco and some sort of cover over the other? looks too difrents shades
That modification actually makes more sense than having the standard rigid plastic pipe there..giving engine movement ..some thing is bound to give and get ripped out sooner than later..
hard to tell Dave, colour difference might just be manufacturing variation...
regardless of what he has done the upgrade makes sense

Looks like a mix of the standard resonator and a section of silicone hose.

I don't understand why I should spend money on buying expensive pipes in all honesty. The bits fallen off I just wanted replaced. I am not wasting money on modding this car because OEM build quality is shoddy.
I don't go round showing people my engine so i'm not interested in what it looks like.
I've been running around now for two weeks with no induction piping, its louder that is all. I seriously doubt the stock piping poses any restriction tbh. Whilst I agree that putting on samco hoses will not make the situation worse I do not believe it will offer any improvement either.
thanks for your input but all I want is my 3 month old car to have all its parts attached to it!

if you own Fiats for any length of time you will soon find yourself replacing and upgrading bits and bobs as they fail or fall off, might as well get used to it and use it as an opportunity!

Hmm if that's the case I think i've made a mistake buying it. The thing is I bought a new car because I didn't want to mess about with it, just wanted reliable, predictable motoring.
This is my work car, I don't want to be messing around with it modding it. I've spent far too many years modding cars really and know that really it's a mug's game though an enjoyable one.
So really I expect the dealer to sort it out so that it doesn't happen again.
If you want reliable motoring then you really SHOULDNT have bought a fiat..I found that out when I bought my stilo so your lucky you didnt buy one of those..
modding cars is a mugs game I will be the first to second that ..I have done the same for over 35 years now but still haven't leaned a lesson from it.. and with regards to the advise from RobW ei.. when things go wrong up grade and improve..I couldnt agree more because fiat in many cases use cheap and nasty parts so improving on whats been done is the best way forward at all times..and just to give you an example of that my exhaust was a rotten as a pair after only two years ..so did I go and have another one fitted ..did I hell as like ..stainless system fitted now and wont need to be touched for the longlife of the car ..that was a hint by the way
