Hello together I had already set a therad open for the valves yesterday our car at ATU got back because I didn’t dare to go alone so now tell me that the valve play is right. I had atachushed the cylinder head about 3 months ago because the old had a hair crack and another from the valuer on it or is that where is now on it the clacking went to me in the warmest sense of the word on the bag now ATU means that the bumps or the hydro can be resinated dur ch the long lying of the cylinder head I was advised to tilt this here in the engine that it will become much quieter have you no idea what else you could do? Would be very grateful about any answer because I already have a grim feeling in the belly with the clacking if that does not cause damage in the long run.

Hi! So now the first 3000 km with my new Goodyear Eagles are down and I have to say, fabulous tires!!! So now I looked and the inside was about 0.5 – 1 mm stronger off than outside. I already know the test from last year, my SR had not kept 5000 and they were completely flat inside. I then had the axle remeasured and adjusted at Fiat and the problem seems to be fixed at least with the winter tires. Now I have inside about 4.5 – 5 mm and outside approx. 5 – 5,5, so relatively little difference – but nevertheless. I drive around with 2,7/2,8 bar in front. Lt. instruction should be 2,5 pure. It can be that this is too much. Normally he should then drive in the middle more, but is only about 1- 1,5 in the middle run, in the ratio clearly more than outside. In the driving school we have learned: too high air pressure = strong wear in the middle too low air pressure = strong wear inside and outside Want only to ask what you mean, sol I’m going down to 2.5 bar again. I’m driving around a bend and a lot of highway and relatively fast the driveways / descents, which usually go right! So relatively more right turns! I’m grateful for all the answers! Greetings

Hello everybody!! When I flew over the new car picture like this today, and I read the preview for the next edition: “Wanted, the True Volkswagen” I wonder why they don’t write down VW immediately and the thing is done! I’m curious, the VW Fox is there, FIAT Panda, Kia Picanto etc. I find the car picture no matter what they do for a test, always VW wins! Probably also VW wins if they are not there 🙂 What’s the matter? for you a real Volkswagen? What do you say about VW and car picture?

My wife wants to get rid of her Mazda6. And she likes the new Panda super. Wanted to ask what there are bad reports of this car. I find nothing on the internet.

Hello guys!! I’m actually a golfer, but for my sister’s hot-loved car I need brake discs. It’s a Punto 55, built in 93. My question is: Which manufacturers can you recommend? Does an ATM know as a manufacturer? Experiences?

Hello! At the moment I am a bit unsure about my Punto (55S, year 97). Therefore I would like to ask you for advice: The Punto currently has 146 000 down and is actually still driving quite well. But the devil is in the detail: 1)Stoss dampers were last time presented by the TÜV as not so good. They meant that these should be changed times. So I do not know if I come over the next TÜV (in one year). 2)The brake hoses are porous. 3)In front of the front exhaust pipe the holder is rusted and this first part already depends on it, because the holder is off. Can it be welded? 4)The catalyst is already rusting from the housing or the housing already has holes, which have been partly welded. What do you say about it? 5) The valve play from the engine has never been adjusted (but I will soon make it when I keep the car). 6) The car has rust in some places: e.g. rear axle carriers, underbody, engine carriers or what that is… but apparently rather superficial. And until the rusted through, it still takes a bit, right? 7) Soon the drum brakes will be due at the running performance. Do you think it is worth it again to finish (how much does it cost about?Does it pay if you imagine the current value of the car?) or should I rather sell the car? What is reasonable about rust or technical problems and where will the TÜV not give me a badge?

Hello Fiat-Gemeinde, I know that this topic already exists at Motor-Talk, but I could despair: Punto EVO 1.2 8V, EZ 09/10 – mileage 14,000 KM I got a letter from the dealer asking me to have the upcoming “annual customer service” done soon.This annual customer service has to be done, otherwise, for example, warranty services expire. This is like a threat for me. During a personal conversation with the dealer I was explained “Otherwise, the guarantee is forfeited. Also, in later attempts to regulate any defect by kulanz would generally be rejected. In the manual with the prgrammed maintenance there is nothing from this annual customer service. Here it is clearly stated when which things are to be done. The Punto hardly drives urban traffic and is not used under difficult conditions. To the question at the dealer, why this oil change n I don’t know what I’m talking about. I think that’s just money-making from the dealer. I don’t have a problem with this oil-change, what I’m sick of is this blackmail behavior. I sent an e-mail to “[email protected]”, with exactly this content written here, because I really don’t know who to believe, the dealer or the operator’s manual. Has anyone had the same experience? I’m for everyone. Thank you for your answer. Greetings SB1512

In the car picture of February 3rd, 2012 there are och schönes Test über Retro-Autos, getesten Bettel, Mini und der 500, in bin now no Fiat-Fan, but find the test for eye-wishing in favor of VW. How can one test a 500 and a beetel under the same conditions and wonder that the bee is much bigger and offers more comfort?????? What a crazy thing, I would have taken a Ford Mustang with me and then wondered why the beggar so much Ahm box is.

Hello friends, today at the Punto of my girlfriend (Punto 1.2 176 60 HP, Built 99) the ZKD had renewed. When we wanted to pick up the car came the shock. The head is completely dislocated, since 4 different spark plugs were installed. The mech. means that now a new head has to go in. Is this necessary?? Does the head of the Punto 1.1 ? Must be renewed after that? We don’t know any more Hope on your answers Thanks nopunto noparty

Moin Moin, have a little problem with my little Punto 176 16V year 1997. If it is warm, the stationary gas gets restless. Knackt ziwschen 700 – 1200U/min. When it accelerates, it is also very difficult. As if it had misignition. From about 3000 U/min is then again ok. Lambda probe, ignition cores, gasoline filter, air filter are new. Someone’s idea what that could be. I’m really guessless. The car was also read out. Then I had the Lambda probe changed because the defective was What’s funny is that he’s running so restless at the stand gas. Can’t actually be the L. probe. Thanks for your help. Miro
