8-10Nm
Fiat do not issue torque settings for a punto they use angles so that you can snap your stretch bolts! after contacting fiat and haynes neither of them would give proper torque settings, so i delved into my many tech manuals on fiat fire engines which is what is in your punto and i have successfully changed many fiat punto head gaskets using the following torque settings: stage 1 starting from the centre head bolts tighten to 33nm: stage 2:65nm and finally stage 3: 96nm these torque settings work fine and will probably save you buying new head bolts.

I Believe They Are Around 40-48 Newton Metres
The torque settings for a 96 Fiat Punto 12cc for cylinder head bolts are 30 NM at 90 degrees. Then an additional 90 degrees.?æ?æ
Punto 1.2 engine code 176A7.000 Torque Stage 1. 20Nm Stage 2. 30Nm Stage 3. + 90 degrees Stage 4. + 90 degrees.
i asume you know your spanners so to help you on your way the torque settings are Fiat Punto 55/60 1.1/1.2 engine make sure you use new bolts ect. Stage 1 30Nm/22LBf ft Stage 2 59Nm/43.5LBf ft Punto 55 engine code 176A7.000 Torque figures stage 1. 20 newton metres stage 2. 30 newton metres stage 3. + 90 degrees stage 4. + 90 degrees torque sequence 8 6 2 5 10 7 3 1 4 9 bolts 9 & 10 are the flywheel side of the engine
The Fiat Uno 1.1 Fire (Fully Intergrated Robotic Engineering) motor is the same in the Fiat Punto 1.1. The torque settings as per Autodata is Camshaft carrier cap - M8 x 1.25 20Nm or M8 10Nm Camshaft gear - 70Nm Anything else, just ask
It is important to know the head bolt tightening sequence and the torque of a vehicle. For the Fiat Punto it is 20nm, 30nm, 90 degree turn, 90 degree turn, then in order 8,6,2,5,10,7,3,1,4,9.
Head bolts for a Punto 60s need to be tightened in 3 stages: stage 1 - tighten all bolts (in the correct order!) to 30Nm. stage 2 - tighten again, in same order as before, by turning wrench a further 90 degrees stage 3 - repeat stage 2
It on the cover of the fuse holder . It depends on what Punto u have . 1998 Punto u have to loose the screws on the panel . it on the driver side of the dash
i asume you know your spanners so yes it is a straight forward job. and to help you on your way the torque settings are Fiat Punto Fire engine Stage 1 30Nm/22LBf ft Stage 2 59Nm/43.5LBf ft
firstly tighten in sequence to 20Nm all round, then tighten to 30Nm all round,then tighten 90 degrees all round, and finally tighten a further 90 degrees all round. good luck!.
