A Girl In Trouble!

Hi there everyone!

I am in a spot of trouble and wondered if anyone could help.......

I need to buy a Fiat Punto Owners Manual for my 1999 (V) 1.2 Punto. If anyone has any ideas where the best place to get one would be i would be really grateful. I am also concerned because i need to put air in my tyres and am unsure of the pressure to put in. Please Help!

If your wanting a haynes manual you can get them from halfords/motorworld or virtually any car accessory shop

Tyre pressure should be 29 front and 28 rear

sorry to hi-jack the thread but do tyre pressures change if you have bigger alloys (e.g. 15" to 17")

Dazza you found the answer

I was on a website before, stated 30 front and 32 rear?

if you want the oweners hand book then FIAT(GB) Customer Relations department will be able to provide you with a copy. However this will cost you, you could try your dealer, they'll also have them, or failing that (probably the cheepest option) ebay will no doubt have a few.

If you need a technical workshop manual, you should try e-bay or halfords, or any good bookshop, I know boarders have some of the haynes ones, Amazon also stock them.

You can also buy manuals online from http://www.haynes.co.uk

every front wheel drive car i've had has higher presure in the front than the rear.

my book says 29 front an 28 rear psi aswell

Tyre pressures change depending on loading and use. So you can both be correct

On the Marea the tyre pressures are balanced front and back. 33psi average load - 36psi fully laden.

Kev was waffling on about laden and unladen at which point i said "shut the f*ck up she just wants to know what to pump her tyres up to" guess he was talking important stuff after all

nar that not important unless she was going on holliday, with adults in front an back seats and boot full of lugage

you put luggage in a boot

Don't forget to change the air at every major service

Why i thought you only needed to check it not change it.

Sorry it was a joke, one of my friends was in the army and when one of the new guys asked about tyre pressures on the Land Rover, they told him he had to change the air every time he checked.

The poor guy let all the air out of the tyres and then pumped them back up again to the right pressure.

Apparently race cars do use a different gas to fill the tyres, something to do about heat and how much the pressure changes.
