Delta Exhaust

[Nello]

I noticed a knock coming from the rear of my car the other day. At first I thought it was my youngest's pile of books on the back seat falling to the floor but when I walked to the rear of the car I noticed the silencer was hanging down. The rear rubber coupling had sheared off. 

A quick google-surf and I found the Lancia part number off Eper - 46810305 - google again and this is a common fiat group bit shared with the likes of the Bravo/Stilo.

The Fiat part number 712650281 is exactly the same part and there is also a generic part number of 420397.

Anyway the point is as its a shared component - a quick 10 minute drive to my nearest Euro Car Parts and with the current Summer discount code I got a new one - in stock marked up for a Stilo for the princely price of a tenner!   Doddle to replace - I cut the old rubber off the box - bit of WD on the single nut bracket and on the two exhaust prongs to put the new one on and its all sorted. Hope this helps someone else! No need to go to a Chrysler dealer. My car has now done 48k so to be expected. The rear box is darn heavy!

Hmm ok so it seems this was the beginning of the end of the rear box anyway. Came home and the wife says the engine light is on? Started car and the exhaust is clearly now blowing - I can see a hole in the box. Presumably why the engine light came on (Lambda pickup/pressure loss etc.)? Anyway now finding it a bit tricky to locate a new exhaust. All the generic suppliers don't seem to have the Delta listed?................ Anyone had to find one before?

Hi Penguin - Got a bit of a result - I cross referenced part numbers on eper again. 

I have found that part No.51816909 - sold on ebay to fit the T-Jet Bravo appears to be exactly the same as the MultiAir rear box.

You can add any FCA group part number to eper and can select the 'Product Previously in Use' drop down - and will show commonly used other models across the marques.

I've bought a brand new aftermarket one sold for the Bravo off ebay for £30!!!!!!

It looks identical.

I've not actually got around to fitting yet as the EML light has now gone off - the hole is only small and the Lambda/ECU have obviously adjusted - though we're away to Devon in a couple of weeks so will fit before then and confirm.

The local Chrysler/Jeep dealer wanted £185 for want effectively is the same part!!
