Fiat Punto

this is usually caused by the bonnet release cable getting stuck. try pushing and pulling the bonnet release lever inside the car.

I have asked a similar question.Ive checked the bulbs and the fuse and they are fine. There is a brake light plunger type switch attached to the upper part of the brake pedal but i havent been able to locate it yet.Its awarkward lying on your back with a torch trying to find it.

normally about 2ltr but if you drain the old oil from the g/box you will no for certain

you can pick up the same grade(spec) oil from a motor factors for more than half the price main dealers are charging

my gt starts but it sounds to be on 3 or 2 plugs want rev propley its got white smoke

You have to fill the gearbox through the reversing light sensor.Alternatively you can remove the fifth gear cover on the side of the gearbox and fit a filler plug there,making it much easier to do an oil change,which I would recommend as these gearboxes are prone to fifth gear failure.Use full synthetic oil and add a teflon additive. Finally stick a powerful magnet on the cover,it may save you a fortune if the fifth gear disentegrates stopping all the mashed up metal going into the main gearbox.

mine doing the same when turning been to garage could be broke spring or strut top bearing .

yes it will but if theres no lum yoy will have to make one

How do you set cam timing an a Fiat Strada 12. 8v

The answer is no. The 1.2 Punto is not and interference fit and therefore the valves do not get damaged by turning over without a cam belt.

The Fiat company of Italy makes Fiat cars.

fallow the upper radeater hose to the engine the hose is clampt to a housing its the thermostate houseing its just the other side of the of that --bronco2in follow the upper radiater hose to the engine the hose is clampt to the therm. housing take the housing off and u will be looking right at it -bronco2in-

Yes it has, I own punto mk2 and first i thought there was something wrong with the wiring but then i discovered that if you hold down the small button on the ignition switch at the same time you can rotate the key one more step counterclockwise and the lights come on.. then you can pull off the key with the park lights remaining on.

The Mk2 Punto starter motor is located at the rear of the engine on the battery side, it is not readily visible from the top of the car. Best seen from the , here the red power lead from the battery joins it and also makes it's way to the alternator. The starter is attached to the gearbox housing with two 13mm headed bolts, one accessed from underneath and clearly visible and the other not readily visible positioned 180 degrees from the first bolt and accessed from the top of the car to the rear of the battery. I started by getting the front of the vehicle up on car ramps and the rear wheels securely chocked to prevent movement and made sure the car was in neutral. As my starter showed no signs of life I first unclipped the plastic cover to expose the starter terminals and checked the voltage to the main terminal on the starter, this proved OK. Next using a screwdriver and with the car in neutral I made a connection between the main terminal across to the smaller terminal in order to bypass the ignition switch, there was no response so I concluded the starter was duff and obtained a replacement. Next I disconnected the battery terminals and then from under the car removed the 13mm headed nut securing the main terminal and moved the two red wires out of the way, then I removed the 10mm headed nut and washer securing the wire to the smaller terminal and moved that out of the way. Then I loosened the lower of the two main bolts securing the starter just to ensure it was loose and then from the top of the car accessed the upper bolt with a 13mm socket, I managed with the battery in position but it was quite tricky (in hind sight it may have been easier with the battery removed). This bolt was removed, then from under the car the lower bolt was removed and the starter manovered down and out. Replacing the starter was just a reversal of the removal procedure, I did ensure the fixing bolts were free running prior to this and from hindsight again would have ensured the nut and washer to the smaller terminal on the starter was fitted first and I was of course careful not to over tighten the nuts. After reconnecting the battery and ensuring the car was still in neutral I did a test on the starter, which proved successful after which the vehicle was lowered from the ramps. This was a successful conclusion to the operation and the replacement starter was only £25 from a breaker's yard. Having of an investigative mind I took the old starter apart to establish the cause of failure and found that one of the wires from the brushes to the stator windings was broken, this I put down to poor unsatisfactory soldering by 'Denso' when it was first assembled (I was surprised that it had lasted for so long - 8 years). Re soldering the wire proved that it was indeed the fault and I now have a spare starter for any future problem. Having approached this job cold and without a manual I searched the web unsucessfully for some clues, I hope the above will help others who may come across a similar problem.

It Is On the driver side (under bonnet) right at the back of the engine next to the brake fluid.

Mk 1 (1993-1999) Punto doesn't have a separate one. It's the same as the one for the front (loated in the engine compartment). There is a tube inside the boot lid that sometimes comes loose, so the rear washer doesn't work, even with fluid in the bottle. takes two minutes to re-attach. Just remove the inner panel of the boot lid and you'll see it.

You might want to check your lambda sensor, or distributor. Take it to a garage if you are unsure.

Are we talking about the pins that hold on door??

If so a pliers,screwdriver + hammer will do you may need someone to support door when taking of and putting back on slight taps of th hammer and screwdriver to the pins directly will loosen them also using some wd40 oil will make this easier then when loose tightly clamp pins with pliers and they should slide right out....dont go gentle

Could be many reasons, try replacing the starter motor. Also check the power/health of the battery.

It's bonded in. Mine was broken and I got it done cheap ish at £70 in total. You need to cut the old glass out with a scraper blade, prime the old glue with primer, aply the new bonder and put the window on, which is a bawl ache if you don't know what your doing lol

The switch is down beside the drivers door sill..its a soft rubber button, you cant miss it! :)

i have a 2006 grande punto that timing chain snapped at 72000 miles

Find a nice wide straight piece of road and having checked there's no other cars about (particulary following closely behind) do an emergency stop. If the pedal pulses under your foot you have ABS. Even if you can't feel that if the car stops quickly without continously locking the wheels when you brake as hard as you can you've probably got ABS. Obviously don't do any of this if you're aren't confident that you can do an emergency stop in safety.

Going uphill puts an extra load on the engine. It might be time for a tune up.
