Parts specialist febi has highlighted a potential issue with the braking system on some popular Fiat models and the economical solution that it can offer to solve this issue.  


The problem concerns the brake hose on popular Fiat 500, 500C and Panda models, where a loss of pressure can cause brake failure. This can be due to the front flexible brake hose which is prone to corrosion where the steel union connects to the rubber hose. A rubber sleeve that covers the lower part of the metal union and the top of the rubber hose is positioned against the bracket which attaches to the steel brake pipe.

This rubber sleeve traps dirt and moisture from within the wheel arch, which causes the steel components of the hose to corrode. This results in severe weakening of the brake hose which can fail when pressure is applied during braking.

febi advises that during scheduled maintenance, the brake systems on these vehicles require special attention to include the inspection and replacement of the front brake hoses which have signs of corrosion affecting the metal unions. febi offers a high quality competitively priced replacement for this hose, febi part no. 104235. This is available from febi stockist nationwide.
