Hello I need your help. From now on, the Punto has had the same drop-off and engine stock. Early in the morning in cold condition quite normal, the engine control turned a bit hot. On the way home, the one stayed on and that came into the workshop. Cylinder 4 ignition drop-outs. Control unit defective, economic total damage. The Punto is in the garage, control unit is a ME7.3H4 from Bosch, which doesn’t break so quickly and is already protected against overvoltage. Ignition cables are relatively new from Beru and 100% ok. Spark plugs now come in after 20,000 km at short distance. The ignition coil pack is damaged, look at the picture, for 15 years there inside. I suspect that the one who makes the error, however, is the right coil for cylinders 2-3 damaged and not 1-4. I suspect that the evaluation and control of the ignition only goes to the coil, since no direct ignition coils on the candles are as well as today. Cold cords and has power starts after a while. Temperature sensor, if it is warm, nevertheless, it does not show a new possibility. And it has a new problem.

Hello I have the following problem, My car is a Fiat Punto built in 2002. I have been driving from time to time, which is not continuous, but already some times I have been strangled at the traffic lights in the last 2 months! So when I speed up full on the gas there is no problem at all only if I drive at 60 in the 4th gear at a certain gas level, it jerks down a little I think I’m going to think I’m going to have a problem with the error messages that came with me in the last 4 weeks! It was replaced about 3 months ago spark plugs, spark cable, air filter, oil filter. Does anyone have an idea what I can look at everything without buying everything new now is an older car where I don’t want to spend a lot of money. Thank you

Hi guys, I looked at the Punto of my brother-in-law yesterday. The car is a Punto of 2002. Machine with 44 kW (60hp). When it is cold, it runs slightly unround when it is idle….as if a cylinder is not running fully. In addition, in the first 30 seconds a bad gas acceptance occurs. Later it adopts normal gas. In addition, the car is slightly jerking when it accelerates. The acceleration is not constant, but there is a power hole in a certain Rottazhl (so 2000 to 2500 rpm I estimate). If it then gets quite warm, the leak hole is still hard to remember, but is still there. I have read out error code “D 0: 0.” . The error memory I have deleted. The error memory does not appear again even after longer usage time. The car has 13.000 km down (that is no typo, it really has so little down). New spark plugs are in, all filters are new and the oil is also new. Does anyone have a tip from you?

Hello together, we have been buying a used Fiat Grande punto 1.4 petrol (with 94000 km) for 6 months. After a test drive everything was good and we have found no problems. After about 4 weeks we have found out the following: When driving, whether low or high speed, whether in the city or on the highway, suddenly there is no more power. If you lift the foot from the gas pedal and step on it again, the car drives again normal. During a drive of e.g. 30 km, it comes 2-3 times, but not in a row. It is really stupid and dangerous especially if you want to drive the highway and overtake it and suddenly the power decreases. I was at 2 different workshops and got the same feedback that everything is in order. Error memory also did not show up. Now I don’t know what I still have to do. Can someone help me here. I am no expert, but I suspect that it has to do with the electric cables. Many thanks in advance! [From engine valley from the topic ‘Fiat Grande Punto 1.4 (95)].

Hello everyone, I bought a Punto 188 year 2006 a few days ago, 247,000 km, LPG, trailer coupling grut basic condition, small money, some maintenance stowage. The car is now at FIAT in the brand workshop, is checked, the maintenance stowage is fixed. The car is a second car for special tasks with trailer coupling and for short distance. Mad how fast the cooling water gets warm: not 3 km, and it is at 100 °C :-). Question: is it worth the price difference with FIAT brand workshop / free workshop? FIAT is quite cheap with the part and workshop costs per se. For example, the timing belt exchange incl. water pump does not cost 600 EUR (is on behalf of the workshop). How much would free workshop be cheaper? I tried to get cost estimates – but apart from FIAT None got, which significantly shakes my confidence with the respondents.

Hello Together, I have the following problem with my Punto, and that is to hear from the direction of the timing belt a grinding/squeaking bearing, it comes from the direction of the belt or spanner. Before I change everything I thought, I ask in the round if someone had this already?! Or can give me a tip Vorab, water pump can be excluded, was before and after change the same noise. Kurz zum Auto: Built. 2009 ; 1.4l 77PS ; Kilometer 24200km Here’s a video:https://youtube.com/shorts/AFcidUUK-MY?feature=share short update… because Keilripen strap down and let run, the noise is still there. Am with the Latin something at the end, especially since the tooth strap came in on Saturday incl. Spanner and WaPu, with the old strap the noise was also there. What to hell can that be?

Moin Moin, yesterday it happened just within the first 10 meters driven Achha that the gears could not get in again? That was only possible with considerable effort. I could still switch into the third and fourth gears, but also only with resistance. In the first and second I could not switch at all, although I could put in the second a few times. Sometimes there was hardly any resistance to feel, but that was rare. I still had to start in the second or third gears in the stand with inserted third gears the engine is not strangled. Whether it would roll off without a brake on the hit clutch I did not test, and since I could only drive in the third gears I could not notice anything like that either. When the car was standing and the engine was out I could insert all gears without problems. After that started again, the problem occurs only with running engine, regardless of whether you drive or stand still circumstances. Does anyone have any idea what this could be and what a repair would cost? And what would I be afraid if I just continued driving so well it could be done under the next time of the brake.

Hello guys, I tried the search and have already found a guide to my error. It’s probably a fiat disease that the ventilation is only running at the highest level. So I bought and installed a new resistance at ebay, but the problem persists. But what I still noticed is that the new resistance is getting very fast, very warm. I immediately expanded it. In another guide I found out that the blower engine should be oiled a bit. te. Did I also have, but still no improvement. Can you help me? Please, the resistance is only fixed with a screw, can it be? Mfg rocc44
