Technical GP Air Box Snapped?

[Blatamc]

I brought a 09 Grande punto on 22nd of may 2009 within 3 days of owning the car, i noticed it started getting louder as if i had a induction kit on it :S. So i popped the bonnet open & noticed the black air box seal has melted away :/ the Black glue started to seperate. I took it back to Fiat and they said they dont know what has happend & are unable to fix it, contact my breakdown cover :/ (what bull**** is that?) lol so i though f*ck ya Fiat i will get myself a GSR induction kit works a dream

but yeah basicly i was just wondering if this has ever happend to anyone eles or is it just my luck lol

Thanks

I 've seen some other 1.4 gps with melted pipe,so has to be a common problem with the heat,that makes the plastic melt...

They should have used a different material...


Anyway,request replacement!

Click "enlarge image" & you see the big black air box, not the part where the 3 bolts are. but the next section is where it has snapped & the glue has melted away :/

This happened to me. Just take it to fiat and they will replace the airbox under warranty

Cant see it myself even expanded to biblical size but you're sorted with an induction kit now anyways...
