    fiats are renound for there clutches,even after not alot of miles....weve knowen customers that have had 3 clutches within a year of owning a NEW fiat..and thats not because they are old biddies(crappy OAP drivers)....

    also the head gasget is a bugger of a problem to.

    Only done 20k. X reg. Took to dealer this morning, reckons it's a misfire.

    Two of my mates have had head gasket problems and ended up getting rid of their car.

    My ex had a Fiat Punto and had no end of problems with it. Sell it and buy something else.

    If its misfiring, check the power packs to the right hand side of the cylinder block where the distributor and rotor arm normally are. We Had a similar problem recently and it was because one of the power packs had died

    we know someone who bought a punto and it needed 3 clutches and a full engine re-build before its warranty even ran out!

    my mates clutch went, with some other things...

    £500 quid bill anyway

    The only good punto is the Super 1600 Rally version....most of the parts are motorsport made....ie, not by fiat, so it actually works :lol:

    had the same problem with our old one. only ever seemed to do it when the car was cold. need to be easy on the clutch when it happens.
