Hey guys, I probably – pretty sure – built some really shit in the purchase of my Fiat Punto 188. It was advertised with “cooling indicator rising”. Driven, test driven and seen that it really goes after about 3-4 km into the red area. I thought in my youthful lightness “Oh, that will be the thermostat or air in the cooling circuit” and bought it. After I picked it up today and carefully drove home, I opened the hood and the large circuit was definitely open. The hose to the cooler was really hot and the fan ran despite driving. The cooler was rather less hot. I felt confirmed in my assumption and filled in a liter of coolant once. Through the vents on the cooler and the hose to the heat exchanger nothing came out. I was happy again and thought “yeah, just buy a bit of cool water and everything is still top of the list. I then made it as it stands in the instructions and gave gas. What was: white smoke from the exhaust (see picture). And I didn’t have to say that there was a little bit of oil in the last year’s oil.

Hi, what’s going on in the hot water cycle? When the hot water cycle was busy I had a nice time in the hot water cycle (was a thick police check at the main traffic time :/) The heater was already warm, stop-and-go? And then there was no hot air out of the heater and the radiator fan went on in between. So it went on for a while while while I was thinking about whether I had a cooling circuit leak or the water pump is giving up the mind. Water didn’t run out (it went out and looked at it) and every time I gave a few seconds gas, it got a bit warm. When the car stopped again cold. Behind the traffic jam the heater immediately got warm again (it was a tempo 70 distance). That fits to the small abnormalities of the last few weeks, the temperature indicator fluctuated from time to time (it went a little bit higher). It also felt a bit longer, until the car was warm and then the car didn’t get warm again.

Hello together, we changed the ZKD seal of my Punto today, after repair manual. As far as everything apart without problems and get together again. Now the car can not start again ( yesterday I could still start and drive without problems!). The starter works perfectly, however, the engine does not start. We could not do much error diagnosis anymore, because it then unfortunately became dark. Only so much: the spark plug of the very right cylinder did not generate sparks (have they screwed out and held to the engine block). If you start the ignition, one hears a surren – I assume that this is the petrol pump (…or?) Where could the problem lie? I would like to continue with the error search tomorrow and would be extremely grateful for helpful comments! 😉 Thank you very much and nice evening, Tom

Hello guys, did I ever want to ask you a question that you’ve heard a thousand times, but since the opinions go so far apart and I’m still not smarter I ask you here Does someone know how low-touring you can drive with the 1.2 16v? I sometimes drive like this: switch at 2000 rpm And for example speed 30 in the fourth course at approx. 1100 rpm or 40/50 in the 5th at 1.2-1.400 rpm Would that be too low-touring and therefore bad for the engine? How do you drive your Punto?

Hello, what kind of battery do I need there (40, 50 or how much Ah?) and do you have to pay attention to something? Do you need the code for the radio (I didn’t!) or do you need to relearn the keys etc.? Or just get out the old battery and the new one in, done?

Good day together, no Uno forum found, so I try it here. Fiat Uno, rim lock nut got lost. Someone an idea how to open the rim lock? Adapters/help tools/crackers are enough, but which would be suitable for this lock type? Image included. I am grateful for tips and hints.

Hello, my problem with my Punto is that I can’t turn off my dipped-beam. At first it was that when I flashed to the left the dipped-beam went on until the flashing was over. Then it went off. After a few weeks, however, the dipped-beam is permanently on and can’t turn it off and switch to the daytime running light, so my controller is without function. If I turn off my engine, the light is also completely off. Only if I want to drive off or the engine is arte is permanently on. What can it be about? Since I also have to go to the TÜV there would be a small additional question if I could still come through the TÜV despite this or if I should have it fixed first.

Hi guys, I changed the crankshaft-simmerring at my Fiat Punto (BJ 2007, 1.3). After I had re-assembled the timing belt with the adjustment tool, I started the engine. It ran round and without any problems. However, when I drove on the highway, I suddenly had power loss. I read out the fault memory with my Delphi diagnostic device, and the error P0011 (phase controller, sporadic) was displayed. After I reset the engine values, Now the indicator light flashes permanently, and the error has changed to P1300. Can someone tell me what to do now? I can’t get any further.
