Your earth wire is faulty...

It is possible open the bonnet still...however this technique may also be used for other, less welcome, activites under the bonnet. The best way to get the answer would be to search on FiatForum...it is covered there. The basics of the technique involve having long arms and a torch to see where you're putting your hand.

The speedometer on the Fiat punto Mk1 was made with a speedo that reads 5 mph min. There is a needle stopping the speedo from going below this, so you dont need to "fix" anything as this is standard.

You will need to know what Manufacturer of brakes is fitted to your vehicle, there are 3 different makers of brakes for Fiat cars there are Bendix, Girling and AP Lockheed sometimes the rear brakes are not made by the same makers as the front brakes and viseversa the best way to be supplyed the correct pads and shoes is to remove them from the vehicle and draw around them "even supplying registration number and chassis number cannot tell what braking system was placed on that vehicle" it is also the case for Peugeot, Citreon and Renaults these 3 Manufacturers interchange there braking systems if 1 Manufacturer runs out on the assembly line then they will borrow off another Manufacturer until there delivery arrives.

This means you have a fault with your power steering. You should contact the garage as the power steering may fail.

wher I can find paint code to grande punto

UK right-hand-drive. Small screwdriver and pull off front indicator. Use a long screwdriver and nudge the bonnet lock to release. It may make the job easier if you lever off the 7 spring clips holding the headlight glass, then pull off the reflector which holds the bulbs. Remove the black left-hand 4" circular black plastic cap and this will let you inside the engine bay and just grab the remainder of the cable to release the bonnet.

There are two separate feeds from the washer tank. To access the washer tank you have to unscrew the trim under in the wheel well and pull it away. To do this you have to take the wheel off.

check the U joints in the drive shaft

According to the manual for mine, it's 2 bar for the front wheels and 1.8 bar for the back. That is with a medium load and cold tyres. Should be 2.2 bar all round with a full load and you should add +0.3 bar when tyres are warm.

To reset the service light, fix the problem that cause the light to go off.

It is important to have a horn working for safety reasons. If the fuse or relay is working then it would be best to check the clock spring behind the vehicles steering wheel.

fiat punto ecu is bolted onto the throttle housing (manifold) remove air filter and at rear of throttle housing you will see 2 x multiplugs (release by swinging clips 90 degrees) these plug into ecu (4 bolts) Unfortunately new or replacement ECU,s need reprogramming. Although if changing an engine over you must swap Ecu and keep original or key won,t identify code.

I've just changed the heater illumination bulbs on the punto 07. take out the radio with 4 round 2" nails in the holes on front. undo the cage that holds the radio. pull off the panel under the heater nobs by downwards and there is 2 screws near the edge. take these out and the heater unit will come lose then the front is clipped in place at the top and bottom but be careful not to brake it. take this away and the bulbs are behind the transparent plastic held with 1 screw in middle

There is no dipstick for the gearbox

the punto has a filler/level plug on the front of the gearbox

12mm Allen key fitting

hope this helps

best wishes
