Hi all i have had a car on the go for a few weeks it is a fiat tempera 1995 vintage, the metal water pipe whitch goes from the pump around the back of the block has corroded through so rang the dealer 2 weeks ago to order a replacement. They rang me today to tell me that the pipe had been deleted and was no longer available! Now this car is only 8 years old and i also believe they made them for about another 2 years after so there could be 6 year old cars out there ready for the grave yard !!!
ONE WAY OF GETTING NEW CAR SALES I GUESS !!!
p.s.i have now brazed the pipe up and the car is back with the owner But what of more critical patrs ????? Anyone had simmilar problems ???
