Re: the diffrences between S SX and ELX

Hi guys!
I'm new here and I've just got my punto mk2 which after reading the information provided by you guys, I'm quite sure that mine's a SX version.

Ok here's my question.
I've realised that there're 8V and 16V models and I'm not sure how to identify my vehicle.
Could you guys guide me along?

Another thing is that can someone tell me where to get information about the location of brake fluid tank, power steering tank, etc?
I bought this car from someone who doesn't really know anything about the car.

One more thing is that the driver's side door squeaks when I use the door.
I'm advised to change the check strap.
Do you guys have any suggestions to that?

Thanks a lot for reading and helping!
Cheers!

Re: the diffrences between S SX and ELX

I am new here, and I am glad that I found people who love same car like me. I have ELX version, 1998. 1.7 TD, and I am woman who fall inlove in car "at first sight" and I do not know much about motors or something else, but I like to drive this car. I hope I will find help and much learn here, with you, guys...thanks

Re: the diffrences between S SX and ELX

Just a little question lads/lasses/etc.

My old man had a Treg mk1 60sx a few years ago (still floating about south wales apparently YAY!!! I grew up in the damned thing! ) But according to what you lads have been saying, it must have been an odd one.

It had seemingly everything on it BAR the electric sunroof and remote locking. really odd.

Re: the diffrences between S SX and ELX

I bought myself a 1999 T Reg 60SX 5dr yesterday and there is something that doesnt quite add up. On all the car websites it says the 60SX has PAS however mine doesnt. I'm not sure weather it has it and its broken or it doesnt have it at all!

It still has all the other stuff. Fog lights, rev & temp gauage, front electric windows, central locking

This punto was first registered on 17/05/1999

Re: the diffrences between S SX and ELX

they should have p.a.s as standerd, as faw as i know, i thought all sx's had fogs, lecky windows, sunroof,rev counter temp gauge, and after 1996 colour coding, my 96 has colour coding though, which confuses me it has an elx steering wheel also, i think the powering steering pump may have gone on yours get it checked out, hope this helped

Re: the diffrences between S SX and ELX

I took it into fiat today for a P3 service and told them about the power steering. Hopefully they'll be able to sort it. I cant find where the powersteering fluid goes under the bonnet either (it didnt come with the manual)

I viewed a V Reg 60SX the other day and it had all the same stuff as mine plus the steering wheel with autio controls. Mines just a standard steering wheel, dont think its even got an airbag in it. Also i have no sunroof.

that's because the mk2 ELX is the equivalent to a mk1 SX

there was the MIA (S), ELX (SX), Active (ELX), Sporting and HGT (GT)
