I noticed that at the right back sight of the car, behind the wheel, there are some tubes running, protected, but not covered.
Never noticed before. At local Fiat dealer they dont know whether it has to be like that or there si a cover missing?
Can anybody help me?
thanks

Hi David, welcome to the forum.

If I'm looking in the right place, it's the fuel filler neck and blue breather pipes? There's no cover on mine either, seems daft really as you wouldn't want anything thrown up at them.

The Brava appears to be the same. I never noticed until I looked.

On another note, welcome to the forum David. You could well start a new trend whereby we all names threads after ourselves rather than the topic in question.

Strange how you can miss things

The whole arrangement looks a bit Heath Robinson. There is a small cover on mine at the top of the wheel arch but all the pipes are exposed and ready to explode if I blow a tyre.

For the non-Marea owners out there, this is what we're rattling on about:

That looks well dodgy. I will check mine tomorrow before I set out to work (It's almost dark now and peeing down with rain lol.)

They're fuel vapour lines, the blue ones. Quite thick nylon tubing, so should be fine. Thought they'd have put a guard over the filler neck though!
