Hi All,
Bit of an update on my £250 project Grande Punto Sporting.
Its now driving and I should have it on the road Monday.
Jobs I have done;
New boost pipe from Poland £40 delivered
Oil and filter change - I had to chisel the the drain plug off! It would appear the drain plugs are made of cheese or made in China :bang:
Air filter changed.
Coolant changed mm that was a mare! system appeared to be full of rust so I have flushed out best I can, I have got rid of the bloody awful pipe clips and replaced with jubilees, while bleeding up I snapped off the plastic bleeder near the rad, took it apart, drilled out enough to get a self tapper and a fibre washer in place - its worked, used proper Fiat coolant
Rear lower engine mounting renewed - good price from Fiat £38 plus vat, its the one attached to the gearbox - Billy the bodger had been in previous, its all done now and very little movement on the engine.
Renewed all the rotten self tappers holding up the undertray
Work to do, I have an airbag light and previous owner said it was the slam panel crash sensor so looks like I am going to invest in ECU scan thing
I also need a new N/S inner wing plastic cover.
Happy days :slayer:
