    Hello and good evening from Bremen. I bought a Fiat Grande Punto, approval 03/2009, 1.2 8 V and would now like to have a detailed description of the complete equipment.

  • Motor control lamp Fiat Punto

    Hello dear forum, first of all thank you for your support. I know that this question has already been described in a similar way, but the questions do not fit 100% to my question, so I ask them here again: – with my Punto the engine control light flashes on (sometimes 7 x, sometimes 12 x) – motor control light flashes ONLY when I turn up in 5th gear – “turn up” means in my case not really high speeds – flashing starts at approx. 3000x. – The blinking is EXCLUDING when I drive lightly or strongly uphill (Tempo approx.120) – When I drive up slightly, for example, there are no problems (also not at 140 and higher speed) – There are no problems when driving or similar, only the light flashes What was done: – error memory read out: – problem with the ignition – spark plugs exchanged – spark cable exchanged – valve lid exchanged (he was necessary) Unfortunately, there is no problem with the light flashes What was done: – error memory read out thanks: – problem with the ignition – spark plugs exchanged – valve covers exchanged – valve lids exchanged (he was necessary) The problem) Unfortunately, there is not the problem!

  • Fiat Punto 188 (BJ 2005) Noise on the axle, wheel nuts hot

    Hello, I have a problem with my Punto. For some time I have had a metallic grinding from the front axle during the ride (side rather difficult to detect acoustically, tending on both sides). In addition, even after short rides the wheel nuts become extremely hot. The grinding usually only stops after a short time (if necessary because something has to warm up and then expands?) and is dependent on steering movements and the brake. he brake kicke stops it for the moment and sets up shortly afterwards again. Yesterday I drove about 15 km highway and had to steer/brake rather little and after that the wheel nuts were not very warm. After that 15km country road and city and the grinding has inserted and the wheel nuts were warm. Therefore the first guess: brake / brake caliper clamps. What I did: everything apart and looked at the blocks. Tragbild looked actually inconspicuous. Oetze cleaned and lubricated with copper paste. Guide bolts of the caliper examined: also here inconspicuous and smooth. Nevertheless, newly greased. When the tire is down, the wheel can also be rotated by hand and does not sit totally tight. The brake piston can be pushed back by hand. Challenges some effort but it works. This means for me that it can not come directly from the brake. My next guess is for this reason: wheel bearing defective. Hierb I’m a little skeptical, however, because the noise is very high frequency and metallic. Besides, it usually doesn’t occur directly at the start of the ride but only after a short time. However, steering movements influence the noise. Can a defective wheel bearing lead to an imbalance or similar of the brake discs, so that it grinds here? What is your opinion about this? Greetings Addendum: Brakes were made completely about half a year ago. Don’t know exactly how many KM there are now, but discs and KMs. Lots look good.

  • Infothread PSA high-roof comb

    In the new PSA high-roof combis forum for Citroën Berlingo, Fiat Doblo, Opel Combo, Peugeot Rifter and Toyota ProAce City, the topics for these vehicles can be discussed in bundles. They all use the PSA EMP2 platform and are technically almost identical. The topics can also be found reflected in the respective brand areas. This means that an answer can also be seen directly there (no double contributions).

  • Doblo 2006 – 3.Brake light no current / fuses OK

    Hello! There are 3 brake lights. The 3rd brake light at the top is not working (it has TÜV faulted). Passage is measured. Pear is ok. I could not measure any voltage at the two cables of the 3rd brake light at the top when the 2 bottom lights were shining. According to operation, one and the same fuse (front in the box under the steering wheel) secures all 3 brake lights. And this is also OK. What now? Thanks for help !!!! (EZ: 2006 / 1.4Lr, 57KW)

  • Ducato Motorhome 2008-2015 used buy – What do I pay attention to?

    Hello together. I would like to buy a used RV in the 5T+ class and not infrequently these are based on a Fiat Ducato chassis. Therefore I would like to deal a little closer with the Italian. I am not from the subject, but from the sort “What I can do myself I like to do”. So brakes, oil changes I basically do myself and timing belts have changed already. So I have fundamentally something technically savvy. mobile is basically not cheap and costs a lot of money, so I would like to know what I should pay attention to with the Ducato campers in the category. What are frequent problems that one should face, or topics that one should know? Probably I will end up somewhere in the year of construction between 2008 and 2015. What I have already researched I would like to have the 3.0L engine with 158 or 177 hp. Ideal would be control chain. I have read s Is this just a switch-gear unit or an automatic machine? And can you limit that to certain years of construction? Somewhere, too, there was a problem with the electrical system. Does someone know more about it and what kind of electrical system is meant? The motor electrics? What are your experiences or what do you know about this model? I would be very pleased about information about the Ducato substructure. With such a purchase price sum I would also be in Kau f take the vehicle to a workshop or test bench to have the worst thing checked. I have never done that before, how are your experiences there? Where do you go there what can they check and what is reasonable for the seller in the context of a pre-purchase? I thank you in advance, many greetings, Oliver

  • Mounted passenger seat with rotating console: distribution of rings

    Hello together We have a camper based on Ducato 250 Jg. 2012, the passenger seat has a rotating console. In order to work on the battery we have unscrewed the passenger seat, in itself no problem, also the AirBag theme is known to us. Only: the thick underlay discs, approx. 2.5 cm diameter, have fallen out. There are four thinner and three thicker of them, and we can no longer determine with certainty which were where. Can a expert help us there? The frame t has a screw at the front per side, from there come with great probability the thick underlay discs. And at the back it has two screws at each side, the front of the rear is shorter. And from there probably the rest comes. To illustrate I attach another picture of the frame. It is also to be said that two of the thin discs is exactly as thick as a thick one. So it could theoretically be that two thin ones come from the same place – but I don’t know. If you help me here, it might be that two thin ones come from the same place – but I don’t know. I would be very happy, and otherwise I will continue to look for explosion drawings or similar. How stupid it is, as a non-professional, to take a bus into your own hands, you don’t need to judge, I have recognized that myself. ?? Thank you and greetings
