Title: Y10 Manifold and Rear Brake Balance/Compensator Valve Post by: LanciAlan on 21 November, 2011, 12:56:31 PM My Y10 FIRE is due for its thrice-rescheduled NCT (Irish equivalent of MOT) in a couple of weeks. I could go on without it indefinitely, as I have been so far, serially postponing the test date since a written indication (or even a text message) of having an appointment is sufficient to keep the law at bay. I even won a discount hotel weekend away the third time I rescheduled!
I've done nearly all the other jobs on the previous test failure list and its time to bite the bullet and get the car tested before the drink-driving season is upon us and they clamp down on every infringement. There is a leak from the rear brake balance/compensator valve and the spare I fitted also leaks. I have temporarily misplaced the removed item so I don't have a part number but if I recall it is pretty widespread in its application to Fiats and Lancias of a particular vintage (Mirafiori/Beta onwards). Does anyone have a definitive fix on a suitable substitute - I am thinking Panda/Uno - or do you have one available for sale? Also require a new manifold (apparently used ones crack) for the 1.0 FIRE engine - its a 4 into 2 design that mates up with a 2 into 1 downpipe. Thanks Alan Title: Re: Y10 Manifold and Rear Brake Balance/Compensator Valve Post by: fay66 on 21 November, 2011, 11:27:36 PM Hi alan,
Only place I could find a compensator http://www.axel-augustin.de/shop2/Fiat-ab-Bj-1985-bis-Bj-2003/Fiat-Fiorino/ABS-Sensoren-Bremse-Vakuumpumpen/Bremskraftregler-und-Zubehoer:::2_111_47784_47795.html?language=en Below is what else it was used on.

I got to this point before with both the manifold and the brake valve but ran into the sand on availability/price. I will re-apply myself now.
I am most grateful for your effort ... all I need to do now is find one at the right price as €52 plus postage plus a manifold is just too much to be spending on a car that is supposed to be saving me money! Coincidentally, flow of brake fluid from the replacement unit I fitted seems to have slowed down of late - maybe the seal has expanded in use having been removed from a car that was laid up for a long while. Well, either that or the the brake fluid reservoir level sensor/light have failed - daily visual inspection is slightly hampered by the fact that the reservoir is under the spare wheel! Many thanks again Alan Title: Re: Y10 Manifold and Rear Brake Balance/Compensator Valve Post by: fay66 on 22 November, 2011, 01:44:52 PM alan,
