I have a 1997 Fiat fiorino 1.7 diesel non turbo, every where I go I leave a little puddle of oil. Checked and it's gearbox oil leaking from a split inner driveshaft boot, passenger side.
I have stripped down the driveshaft ordered the new boot from Fiat main dealer using the chassis number but the boot doesn't fit. Looks totally diferrent.
Just talked to the main dealer who insist that according to the chassi number that boot should fit, but it doesn't.
It's the inner boot which fits into the metal flange which is held on to the gearbox with 3 small nuts.
Main dealer have looked at the old boot says its a universal pattern part but my local car parts place say you can't get a pattern part, inner boot is main dealer only.
Can anyone help, driving me mad, I would buy a complete driveshaft but over £100 and don't need the whole driveshaft, driveshaft not worn. Just the inner boot is split.
Can anyone suggest answers to this problem, why the boot is wrong? Where can i get a correct boot from?
