Hi guys Gerryd and I are going to compare scuttles and engines this weekend as both of us have had new scuttles. We are both at Loch Lomond this weekend so a chance to compare a peugeot to a fiat engine covers and scuttles. Will post any pics and comparisons probably next Tuesday when we are back.

Carolgavin, GerrD,

Would be interested to know if there is any noticeable difference between new and old scuttles if you come across anyone who hasn't had a new one to compare with.

I hope to be away from tomorrow for a few days without internet access FYI.

Thanks,

Ray

A friend picked up his new x2/50 Fiat last week. It had the engine cover fitted but the scuttle hadn't been sealed and the centre join was gapping. So I told him to ask Fiat to seal it for him. There reply was, that as it had an engine cover fitted they didn't need to seal the scuttle. Anyone else had this response from Fiat?

I've had the scuttle sealed twice by Fiat garage - failed twice - water still pours into the engine compartment. In France at the moment and the forecast is for rain the next few days so I've resorted to gaffer tape along top and centre of scuttle. Fiat need to come up with a re-design. Must get round to fitting foam to prevent water entering between bonnet and wing as well!!

Appears if Fiat are doing something to their gearboxes? A supply problem usually means a modification is being phased in Shocked

Compared Polos old one with my 'new' one and quite honestly there is absolutely no difference whatsoever. They seem identical in everyway. So can conclude i may have a 'new' scuttle but it is most definately NOT of a new design!! Either wider narrower, blacker or plasticyer!! Have some photos which will attempt to post!!
