Mr_GTI 0 Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 I had one for a company car a few years ago. It was nearly new and not a week went by with out a bit of trim falling off or some sort of failure/breakage. Luckly the job was only a short term contract so only had it for 2 months. My advice would be (other than sell it asap) is to get a new part as they hardly work when 100% let alone if you've bodged it together.buy her a polo or lupo if you want a small car Link to post Share on other sites
petervr6 0 Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 just put a spot weld on it mate that will hold it for longer than the rest of the car. Link to post Share on other sites

melinamotor 0 Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Puma's are cool cars to drive, Fiats are quite ropey especially the Punto's Not all Fiats are s***e though, the Coupe and the little Barchetta were good fun.Its a shame you couldnt persuede her to buy a Lupo Gti, very underated cars, I love em.

SankysVR6 1 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 It's common failt on the Punto for the wiper linkage to fall apart.One way to fix it on the cheap is to drill a hole where the linkage arm joins and put split pin in there. This has worked fine for a few punto owners.Don't ask how i know. Link to post Share on other sites
