[CraigUK74]

Got this service kit today ready for the mechanic to do this weekend, anything I'm missing or you would recommend? Maybe fuel filter? 1.4 16v lounge.

Thanks all for looking.

Send the K&N filter back and get a standard disposable one. Apart from the highly polarised opinions about power gains, they are not good for modern engines with mass airflow sensors. The oil from the filter can contaminate the electronic sensor element and cause various issues.

If you're keeping the car some time, Iridium plugs mean longer service interval(5 years)

Oh no, glad you mentioned that I will send it back tomorrow, thanks for the information [emoji106] are you Admin or a Mod could you drop me a DM please.

Regards.

Remember to double check the spec, I used the Denso plug finder so "should" be correct?
As you're new, have you had issues with the rear hatch, all of us with older cars know this problem well, new badges front and rear can be picked up for £25 a pair as they can look poor after some time?

 

[CraigUK74]

That's brilliant info John, no problems with the rear hatch so far, my biggest headache so far is related to my other post Split Breather Hose can't find one anywhere and Fiat quoted me £45 for a tiny bit of pipe bent 90 degrees [emoji3064]

Rear badge is a bit faded so will replace that in the near future.

Great advice, appreciate it [emoji106]

If the pipe is hard plastic or doesn't move that much could you use silicone to repair it, it's flexible and heat/cold resistant?
