Linda Quinn Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 We are the owners of a Niessman+Biscoff Arto year 1999. The front cross member supporting the radiator need replacing due to rust. The problem I am having is Fiat ireland are unable to match the chassis no with the part required. Correspondence with Travel World Uk has gone unanswered. I am hoping somebody out there has replaced one on an Arto and may have the part no or any advise would be most welcome. *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinhood Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I'm surprised that Fiat can't find the part number. They should be able to locate it via your VIN number on their ePER system. Having said that, I still haven't found a hit using the on-line system on the FIAT forum, but they should know from experience which category they're looking in, and I don't. :-S AFAIK, (but I'm not an expert) the crossmember was a standard part across the range, and unless it has been modified by N&B you should be able to pick one up generically. Rich has posted a couple of links - they also often appear on eBAY, for example: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FIAT-DUCATO-1994-2002-FRONT-LOWER-CROSS-MEMBER-NEW-/190414839316?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2c559bde14 I'll do a bit more searching on ePER and see if I can find a number.

euroserv Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Hello Linda, I don't understand where the confusion has arisen. There is only one cross member listed, and it's part number has only changed once in 1995 so yours is definitely going to be the late one and it is called 'crossrail' and it is about £135 plus vat in the uk part number 1318067080 Incidentally, in the unlikely event that you find a good second hand one, it will fit if it came from a 1994 to 2002 vehicle because all engines used the same one. The only proviso is if your coachbuilder used any kind of modified cross member but that is very unlikely. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinhood Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Just beat me to it Nick, as I found it under the "radiator" category. I can't be doing too bad, as I was about to post the same number as yourself. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

747 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Before the cross member is fitted you need to do some work on it. 1) Drill new drain holes in the bottom as the Fiat hole is totally useless. 2) Paint it properly with undercoat and top coat and underseal once fitted. Then it is fit and forget. Mine needs doing as well. 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donna miller Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 You should be able to find them new on ebay for about £70. Had to replace mine and a friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
