Beware - JTS 2.2 throttle body flex/bellows pipe

[SeleMatt]

If you own a Brera, Spider or a 159 I suggest you check this pipe. Mine a had decent crack in the bellows section. When I rang a few wreckers, they were all 'missing' so clearly this isn't an unusual failure. I bought a new one through Alfaworkshop in the UK (it's even listed in their spares section which probably tells us something) for a reasonable price. There's is no availability here that I'm aware of.
Definitely worth checking as it's obviously 'after' the air filter.

More importantly the crack/split introduces an air leak after the MAF, which will cause screw ups with mixture/idle/rough running ect.
