General Panda 0.9 4x4 Exhaust System Replacement (2014)

[nightrider]

What you guys buying?
Any suppliers for a new exhaust system, rather than the one piece system supplied by Fiat?

the garage has informed us we can only get the fiat exhaust parts due to the age of the car pattern parts are not yet available for our car as not expected to need replacing yet it sounds very suspicious to me we have to wait another four days before we find out what exactly has been replaced as parts have to come from Italy

What's wrong with existing one?! I had new flex joint at front under my feet fitted for £130. Been fine ever since. 2016 car. Just find a good welder. 2014 car you have, has it needed anything recently. My 2013 4x4 needed £2k of work. Not throwing money at cars anymore. :bang:

our 2015 (65 plate), has had no problems until last week, now in the garage, gears not engaging properly, master cylinder has been blamed for the problem, exhaust front flexi pipe, full service, 34000 miles, 1700 quid bill, looking around the forum, looks like the master cylinder may be a factory fault, i have emailed Fiat U k, exhaust part currently in Italy, mot about to expire, can`t use the car until fixed,i just hope it does not snow or flood !!!, august has given us everything else, our 2005 multiplas eleganza could not cope with either of those weather extremes

panda paul if you need the 4x4 aspect, keep it. Unfortunately you are stuck with it after that until beyond economic repair in a sense. Know Ford want Fiesta to last 5-7 years only. Didn't think Fiat would have same attitude now (my first 54 plate Panda still going at nearly 15 years old and 180k).

There are two Panda 4x4's in the family, (2013 & 2014) both have had the flex joint replaced, both will require a new system sooner than later, tried all the motor factors to no avail, so wanted to see what you guys are planning when the inevitable impending exhaust doom happens to all of us …….
