Deltamike

After re badging the Delta and fitting a spare wheel & toolkit a few years ago I've some things I want rid of:

4 Chrysler centre caps in silver from 17" SR wheels (1 is missing the circular spring clip on the back as one of the Lancia ones came without one

1 Chrysler airbag for steering wheel

2 Chrysler leather front headrests

1 spare wheel well insert tray

If anyone wants any of the bits please send me a message.  I'm not asking much for any of it!  Thanks

Hi

Will all be separate issues.  Gear cables / shift mechansim were likely frozen, not unheard of in the Fiat world.  Clutch master cylinders can start to play up in cold weather. If the seals around the plunger are failing, they can shrink a little bit in cold weather and allow the hydraulic fluid to bypass the plunger. That creates insufficient pressure to disengage the clutch. Once everything warms up, the seals expand enough to do their job, and the clutch works fine again -- until the next cold start.  Is there evidence of hydraulic fluid underneath the car at all?

Theft alert is as you've said; the alarm was activated & it tells you that has happened when you next open the car.  Unlocking & starting will clear it.

Hi I believe its the Turbo it could just be that a pipe from the turbo or from the inlet that is possibly loose check out the clamps

As said above, it's the symbol for ASR being off, nothing to do with turbos.  The boost gauge will show if you have low pressure, along with (usually) some extra noise and a lack of performance

Usually warning lights & particularly the stop/start system playing up are just battery voltage related.

If you don't use the car for a few days the voltage drops with things like the clock & alarm drain, and it can happen when you then start it.  If you run it for a few minutes, stop it & re-start it should clear.  I have 3 FCA cars & 2 were doing it in the cold weather lately after they'd been stood a while.

Stop/start batteries can be expensive, I replaced my Delta's 2 years ago with a non-stop/start unit and it's fine.  Both it & our Ypsilon will eventually do the stop/start thing but only after they've been running a while.  The car won't do stop/start unless it's happy with the battery voltage and if the car stops at the lights & the battery is discharging it will re-start before you do anything.

Hi, there’s a white one being broken on gumtree.

Backboxes are identical to the Fiat Bravo, there are a couple of different tailpipe options (single, or twin exit as found on the Momo edition) but they are the same fitment.  Centre pipes are different as the Delta is a bit longer than the Bravo.

I have 4 you can have if you like, I won't be asking silly money.

The flashing odometer is a sign the car needs the proxy alignment procedure carried out.  Battery disconnection is a waste of time, there is some kind of communication problem within the CAN-bus system that needs sorting; quite probably the ICE issue you mention.  If you were to replace the stereo to fix that (as an example) you would then need to align the new unit with the car anyway.

It doesn't have to be a dealer, an independant Fiat / Alfa place would be able to do it.  Or you can buy the 'multiecuscan' kit & do it yourself https://www.gendan.co.uk/multiecuscan.php

The Blue&Me media units do fail & can cause a battery drain, there's a short thread on here about it 'Blue&me issues?? Odometer flashing' which includes an informative video.

Good luck, hope you get it sorted.

Having a look online, it seems the Suplex 09271 & Spidan 88244 springs are listed as for cars with or without sunroof.

Both springs on Autodoc say equivalent to these Lancia part numbers, if any match what your dealer has quoted?

Sorry, that should be possibly coil or loom.  Easy stuff is worth trying first, new plugs and swapping coil pack leads.  If the misfire remains it's not plugs.  If the misfire goes from 1 & 4 to 2 & 3 then the leads might be faulty.  After that it's a bit more digging.

Quite probably coil pack or wiring loom fault.  New plugs might be an easy start.  You could swap coil packs to 2 & 3 and see if the fault changes with them.

Yes they are the same.  Numerous suppliers - Autodoc, ECP, ebay, dealer / independent etc.  Online like here: Anti-roll Bar Bush Frt Fiat Bravo, Lancia Delta (07>) (shop4parts.co.uk)

If this one has survived (it looks ok on the photo...) perhaps they'd sell it cheap as the rear bumper itself is kaput: 2012 Chrysler Delta 1.6 Breaking Bumper Door Engine Gearbox | eBay

Is it a 1.2?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/312253783510?fits=Cars+Type%3A1.2|Model%3AYpsilon&hash=item48b3c69dd6:g:dWAAAOSweopbs4OR

Ypsilon has electric power steering not hydraulic, so there's no fluid.

Hi, mk2 Bravo is the same type (though not necessarily perhaps the identical colour).

Don't forget it's actually a Lancia so you may find items listed that way.

Hi Andy

Have to say I absolutely love mine & have no intention of getting rid.  Quick, decently economical, cheap to maintain, lovely to drive & not like everbody else's.  Mine is a 1.4 Multiair turbo petrol SR model; half leather half alcantara, climate a/c, 17" wheels plus mine has reversing sensors.  I don't do diesels so the Limited or the Momo editions were not for me, though I do prefer the Momo's all black interior.

I have changed all the C-word parts to the correct Lancia items (sill plates, headrests, airbag, grille, rear badge, wheel caps, engine cover).  You can find mine on the 'Autotrader 1.4SR 16k miles' thread on here: https://www.chryslerforum.co.uk/topic/5020-on-autotrader-14-sr-only-16k-miles/

The Chrysler branding is just a weird / stupid marketing decision FCA made with these & the Ypsilon.  They had plans to finally reintroduce Lancia to the UK & Ireland with these 2 models, but with buying Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge etc combined with the 2008 economic crash Fiat bottled it.  They rebranded them as Chrysler to fit with the then-established dealer network here rather than set up new Lancia dealerships (planned to be at selected Fiat / Alfa sites).  Should never have happened - but worse was done in reverse in Europe when the Chrysler Sebring & 300C tanks became the Lancia Flavia & Thema respectively & the Voyager bus had Lancia badges stuck on it.  Vincenzo Lancia must have been turning in his grave!

If you read the thread you'll see mine actually came from Guernsey and so I'm the 1st owner here in the UK.  She'll be staying with me for some time yet, if not forever; as a lifelong Lancia fan (I'm lucky to have a mk1 Delta HF4WD as well) there is nothing I would replace her with.

Hi, yes the door should lock with the remote.  Likely you've a rod from the solenoid to the lock detached or broken inside the door if you have to do things with the key.

There is a rear washer, you push the RH stalk forwards.  From the column going out along the control stalk you've the large-ish rear wiper control, then the intermittent front speed control (both twist to operate) & then the rear washer push forwards & front washer pull backwards (does sound a little contrary)!

Was this the end of this one? 

Mine is just having that problem now and I will be looking to do the work myself as garages are not at all interested

thanks for any help!

Hi Jason, those people have only posted those entries in 2016 & 2018 and haven't been on the site since then, so a good chance you won't hear from them.

These are the recalls affecting the Ypsilon with affected VINs listed: https://www.vehicle-recall.co.uk/make/CHRYSLER-UK-LTD/YPSILON

If you have no paperwork for whether the work has already been done as it was a while ago you should be able to check with FCA (or whatever they're called nowadays).  If you need to do the work you can do the replacement stalk easy enough but you will need the BCM software update which is dealer or, if you're lucky, a good independant.

Hope that's of some help

As you say the front / centre section of the Bravo is too short.  For future reference Delta & Bravo back boxes are identical.

You'll either need a Lancia one from abroad, not sure of UK postage - e.g the one listed at the bottom here: https://italo-fahrzeugteile.de/Ersatzteile-LANCIA/Auspuff-Turbo-Kat-Lamdasonden/Auspuffanlagen/Delta-Typ-844/Mittelschalldaempfer-Mittelrohr/

Or you could buy the Fiat one & extend it.

Other than that it's OE, not enough of these were made to justify pattern parts I guess.  Where I live I use a great independant called Alfashop rather than a dealer. They have much better prices & a good service from FCA so it's worth ringing round anyone who has the Eper system for FCA parts.  Hope that helps.

Yes it's ok (from a compatability point of view), most Fiats from 2001 are ok for it.

There is a list on the Gov site of the Fiats that aren't but the 1.4 MA isn't part of it.

Well it's taken a while with the lockdown but today her mileage is finally out of the teens...

Hi

Link to the fuse boxes diagrams for info:  https://www.autogenius.info/lancia-delta-mk3-2008-2014-fuse-box-diagram/

Direction indicator fuse is F53 on the dash fuse board.  It's under the dash behind the glovebox, open it pull the 2 pins at the rear base inwards and unhook the support lever.

As it's one fuse if the other indicators are working then it's the light unit / LEDs that have failed, or maybe the connection.  Remove it & have a look, if you need a new lamp unit ebay is your best bet to keep costs down.  Fitting is a doddle, pull the the bit of inner trim out on that side in the boot & feel around for the 2 nuts holding the lamp unit in.  It's good to remove them now & again anyway to remove the crud that accumulates under the edges.

Hi all

Had these made by Vistaprint, well chuffed!!
