Hello,

Here are the diagrams of the 2008 Bravo cooling system:


Swipe on the bottom to get to the others, there are like 27 of them in total ;)

Be sure to check the engine in the marked field:

You can also search with the VIN number. In such case ePER (which is the FIAT spare parts catalogue) will show you only the parts that will fit your car.
 
Mine broke so i replaced the whole connector with one of these - https://www.ebay.com/itm/165475873591, but i cant remember what the diameter was. You have to measure the metal male part that's on thermostat, but i think it was 8mm, so a coupling with 7.89mm female side. Try googling "fuel quick connector 8mm"

Edit - You can also connect the coolant hose to the thermostat directly, without this plastic connector.

Ok, thanks all, after checking it's the overflow pipe from the header bottle (round one) it is clipped on with a blur clip, you cannot buy the blue clip, you can only buy the whole pipe, it's cable tied on for now but the pipe is long enough to pull out the plastic fitting and use the correct size hose clamp, which I will do later rather than spend £64.00 on a new pipe when I just need the clip. Number 4 in the attached drawing.
