Technical Fiat Punto, Brake Fluid Problem

[Brendan W]

:bang:
The 8V car is fine with 10W40 semi synthetic engine oil. I think you need to find another garage to talk to.

NOT BED BUT BAD:bang: entry

well looks like there is enough engine fluid..well i will buy today some DOT 4 break fluid...and will see..also maybe i will buy some injector cleaner....my Partner tell me that the problem happen just one so far..will se..i was try start the car today and after 5 minutes nothing happen so far but the car probably was still to cold to decide..The car pass the MOT like Moth ago..there was few issues...like sometime but just sometime feels like the car is kicking...today i was try just go a litlle forward and the reverse but on reverce i feel like smal kicks....im really unhapy with local garages...looks like they always dont find solution on first attempt so i always play like double{parts and labor}

I'm sure if you post up your location in your details some kind soul would be happy to recommend a garage in your area. Save your pennies, don't bother with injector cleaner for the moment. Shaky motor is more likely down to something like failing ht leads, dirty throttle body or a worn out gearbox support bush - none of them a big deal.

well what is interesing the high temperature gauge just strike up with note high temp and maybe stop the car she is not sure about 5 minutes after the car start...{was still cold}...she was wait like 5 minutes and start and drive the car again she say that the gauge was flying up and down for 3/4 minutes and then everything was ok and she drive home another 30 minutes with no problem

Bleed coolant (see Guides) and replace the thermostat with genuine and bona fide "I collected it myself" FIAT one.

I think the sensor may be seeing air (rather than water) and reacting oddly.

well technicly the Car showing some strange moves...we are went to Tesco which is 1/2 minutes from our house with cold engine..after 1 minute the temp gauge start jumping like up and down as my girlfriend describe before..but now the gauge just went from botom to normal midle postion where should be and back few times

as i wrire before my girl say tha last time the gauge jump to red zone and she have to stop car...but another driving after 5 minutes show her same gauge moves as i describe now and after longer driving the gauge sta where shoot be...im not understand much about cars...but to me looks like some sensor can be broken???:idea: i dont thing that the car can overheat so fast sometime i thing i feell like small kick ..but not sure

went to Arbroath Scotland and drove round and round looking for a bed and breakfast,gave up in the end
in relation to car get that thermostat out and changed before you use the car again or it will be no smokies for tea

looks like the filter can hold the fluid...i was have same problem...the bottom of the filter is from plastic in my case..u just take screw driver and try to lift that with no result..

but what help was i just put the screw driver into the filter..like on the midle part point it on side and turn left or right {clockwise or otherwise} and the filter went out
