  • Fiat Punto speed error

    Hello, I have a strange problem with a Fiat Punto 188 from 2001. The speedometer always shows only a quarter or a third of the real speed. I have already exchanged the following things: Tacho, ABS block, ABS sensor at the front left. I also installed the speed sensor from the Puntos without ABS and attached it to the green/grey line of the ABS connector. Here unfortunately the speedometer needle does not move. With the diagnostic software I can read everything except the ABS block. However, the ABS fuse is not broken and without the ABS block the speedometer does not react at all. What is also surprising is that the ABS lamp never concerns, even after ignition. Does someone have an idea what it might be or how I can use the speedometer signal of the gear generator alternatively? Mfg. DT

  • Battery change – a single disaster

    Hello With our Fiat Punto Evo (199) the battery was weak a few days ago. Cars did not start. Only with multimeter tested – and to be sure also with starting aid cable the car started. -so clear case. Battery removed and new stock. The thing again installed and: nix display reported fuel barrier and various other error messages. I then tried to find out how to reset this. After unsuccessful search behind the glove compartment and disguises, then the tip that you can reset this by means of turn signals to the right and left combinations. That actually led to success. The car starts and drives again. But: All electronic helpers are still without function. These would be among others: Start & Stop, Hill holder, servo steering, ASR and also ESP.Has someone eventuel a tip on how to breathe the systems back in life? Is nevertheless really annoying, that you can not even change the starter battery without Pobleme. And I really have changed some – just not at our Fiat Bisario –

  • 2008 automatic gearbox defective – good workshop in Aschaffenburg/ Frankfurt wanted

    Hello, my sister has an odyssey with her 2009 automatic Fiat 500 behind her … After 4 workshops – some of which meant no problem, we could do – she has now landed at Fiat Frankfurt.

  • 500C roof broken

    Hello together, at my FIAT 500C, BJ 2011, the roof completely said goodbye. The guide rods have gone out of the anchors and there is a hopeless mess, where once there was a folding roof. The workshop calls for about 7,500,-€. This is an economic total damage. Can you perhaps rework a roof of a 500C (e.g. with engine damage) on mine? Does someone have to have experiences or knows someone who can do something like that? I am absolutely no screwdriver and live in Münsterland. I would be very grateful about tips.

  • Version System and Navi database

    Hello, we bought a 500C MJ 2023 from the dealer this spring. The car also has the UConnect 7 with TomTom Navi. The version of the map material seems relatively old to me. I always know that this is behind, but so far? The material is according to info: Europe v1095.11585 (published 07/2022) I also have an application version 14800.3378591.4227 on the device. Do you have /is there something more up-to-date? I also ask, because I did not find a lot on the device, for example this Eco-Spar app. In addition, we had the problem that the Navi went from a completely wrong location (when the navigation suddenly occurred).

  • Cylinder head gasket is completely wet

    One more thing, I’ve got a little bit of coolant from my 188 (1.2, 60hp, BJ 1999, with climate) and I’ve got a little bit of coolant on the left side of the cylinder, the ZKD was completely wet, the thread of ZK screw 10 (on the right side, if you’re standing in front of it) was rusted. No oil in the coolant. I can’t see at best where the seal has a crack to coolant channels. Since the whole ZKD was wet, the water must have been pressed between seal and cylinder head or block. How can this happen? The screws were very tight, the inside not as tight as the 4 completely outside. I’ll look in daylight again how plan the head and block are. I have not worked the block 1h with grinder tiles (see pictures before/after) and I want to put on a completely revised cylinder head. (My old ZK is in his life at least. 3x hot and 2x from Fikat can’t and has not seen it again. I’s a little bit. I have a bit of chill.
