Howdie sounds Like the Pump is gone so replace it Done

Hi Alvaro, well based on your description it could be a few things! Firstly when you say left of car, is that as you look at it from the front, ie. you mean driver's side? If so then a whining noise will most likely come from the alternator and/or belt. That's the simplest area to check and eliminate first. Otherwise it could be the water pump which is driven by the timing belt. Replacing the water pump is not a major job but requires removal of the timing belt. I believe the power steering on your car is electric and if that's playing up you would most likely have a warning light on dashboard. Now, if you mean the passenger side when you say left side and you also talk about noise being present when you are driving along then it could be any of the following: wheel/tyre rubbing on something, noisy gearbox, noisy driveshaft/CV joint, wheel bearing, noisy clutch. So really need you to be a bit more specific about the type of noise, where it's coming from and when to help. Otherwise you'd best pop in to your local garage for diagnosis. Hope that helps. Andy

its so simple you should be able to do this with your eyes shut and dont forget to drain the oil first ,what goes on these cars is the oil pick up pipe ,its aluminium and snaps off so no oil to the big ends its a fairly common fault i have encountered

wash it out with warm soapy water and then let it dry in the sun.

Pull the rest up like you would if you are going to adjust them, the button should be around one of the collars on the seat rest guide bars, press it in and pull the rest up at the same time

If no Air con there there is no Pollen filter

If you or someone you know could fix them they are easy enough depending where it's leaking from is it from the pipes or calipers the calipers are easy enough to change goto a scrapyard and get one for around 10 to 15 pounds you and a friend could bleed the calipers or you could buy A self bleeding tool cheep enough so you could do it on your own.

check drive shaft and wheel bearing

The amber MiL light, lights on a number of problems. You need to get it sorted, you could miss a serious fault, and cause More damage. Needs to go on a code reader. From past experience with Punto's, the stutter could be a ignition coil fault (quite common) or a spark plug, both will cause the light to come on. Good Luck.

CHECK CRANK SENSOR

TAKE THE HIGGEST POINT OF COOLING SYSTEM OPEN AND BLEED

make sure your getting gas could be fuel pump.

this works like a trip switch ,,, are you sure there is no electrical fault??? if the electrics are ok i would replace it ,,,, it is possible to bypass this but its not recomended because if a fault occurs in the future there will be no trip switch to break the circuit and this means petrol will keep being supplied and in a crash that could be a fire hazard ,,, so for safety retain the system as it is designed,,,

Sorry but the only fix is to replace it, the internal locking pawl is probably worn.

I would look on u tube put in the make and model some guys post some good vidoes on there have found it very good .

Its the "Check Engine Light" also known as the CEL. If it is just "on" and not flashing take it to your mechanic or dealer and get them to scan the "On Board Diagnostic" (OBD) for a fault. Often CEL faults are minor and clear themselves. Is the car doing anything else? If the light is flashing it indicates a major problem then you mustn't drive the car. Ring the mechanic and ask them what to do. It may require towing the car. You can also contact the http://fiatforum.com and ask the question there. Most car forums have plenty of members with deep knowledge of your vehicle and any issues it might have. Yet another option is to purchase an "ELM327" Bluetooth OBD adapter on eBay for just a few dollars.. You then have a tool where you can scan the "CanBus" (connected to the OBD) and it will read the fault log. I recommend and use "Torque" - an android app for ~$4US to connect. First time you use it, it will save you money. Once you have the fault log, a few minutes googling the codes it shows will tell you what is causing the CEL.
