My cinq has failed it's MOT so I have a few questions.

I've been quoted £150-160 all in for a new petrol tank (fitting/VAT etc). Is this a reaonable price or is it worth pricing up second hand ones?

I also have to get a new back box for my exhaust, so which is the best (stainless steel) and how easy are they to fit at home.

Also, unrelated to the MOT, I was quoted £120 for fitting (only) new lowering suspension, is this reasonable?

Ta very much.:D
 
1st, petrol tank I havn't a clue but im sure some1 here will
2nd, Back box yes it can be done at home and is fairly simple but trust me its worth the £15 for getting some1 else to fit it for you as it will b rusted on like a gdun and will cause u alot of swearing :D
3rd £120 [:0] omg thats well high I paid £160 including springs which cost £90 and i thort that was pretty high but u could do this urself 2 if u wish

Petrol tank READ HERE! Fiat issued a recall on the fuel tank on the Cinquecento's, this covered all versions. If fiat have not replaced the tank on the recall, you'll get it replaced free!!:D You just need to pop down to your fiat garage and ask them to check their computers to see if it's been done already. if it has, bye bye money!

Try to stay clear of ordering it from Fiat Parts cos this will cost the wrong end of £150! a scrappy may be able to help with a fuel tank and it'll be cheap! just make sure you check it for signs of rust or damage before you take it off the donor cinq.


Wanted: Exhaust for my Cinq Sporting! PM me!
 
Thanks for that. :)

Regarding the fuel tank recalls, does that count on the foreign models aswell? My cinq is completely UK spec, but says it's an import on the log book, from Belgium I think!
 
Nice...With regards toi the recall, I went to Fiat about mine..it was losing fuel around most corners (2 wheels really didnt help! :)) and they told me the recall had closed!! That was two months ago..Methinks try a different dealership..

As for whether the import is covered.. I would reckon so, as the fuel tank is fairly critical to safety... Check with Fiat.

Arse

Feel the magic........the magic is coming...Watch him starve himself to death!!Hehehehe
