Hi guys
I'm a new member although not new to Fiat and looking for a little bit of advice if possible.
When driving my Punto 1.2 8v 2002 model, the temp gauge climbs to just below red, fans kick in and keep it from the red light coming on.
Have checked coolant level and is fine. Checked oil and no signs of any issues there. No grey smoke from exhaust and otherwise car running fine, no abnormal fuel consumption/other issues.
I've read many threads and it seems to attract a contrast of opinions, is there anything I can try myself before taking it in to a garage? Have contacted a few garages and they cannot give a definitive fault; all seem to want to replace one part at a time on a 'trial and error' basis.
Any help would be much appreciated!
