Hi there,
I just joined this nice Fiat forum tonight. My name is Ton, I live in the Netherlands in the nice province Brabant, near Eindhoven. My wife and I have been driving Fiat now for 28 years and I still find it very nice cars.
We started 1987 with a new Fiat Ritmo 60 CL, 1989 whe bought a new Fiat Uno 45 i.e. because of a total loss of the Ritmo due to myself
. 1997 whe bought a second hand Fiat Tipo 1.4 i.e., at that moment 3 years and 35.000 km old. 2004 whe bought another Fiat Tipo 1.4 SX i.e., at that moment 9.5 years and 29.973 km old. This was a very nice car in distinguished dark green with a very comfortable grey interior. Our actual Fiat is a second hand 2001 Fiat Punto ELX 16V in the color Azurro Astrale with a CVT Speadgearbox we bought 2013 with 58.350 km.
I found this forum searching the internet for a solution for a irritating problem with the Speedgear gearbox of the Punto. When hitting the brakes or indicating lane change to the right, the reverse beep constantly beeped and the warning light for the gearbox on the dash was flashing then. When the problem occurred also the D indicator on the dash swapped to R and back to D again in the same frequency as the turning lights.
In "" from user homeward I read similar symptoms and the solution for it.
One of the contact pins of the right rear light unit was corroded, thoroughly cleaning and contactspraying it, the problem has been solved.
So far my introduction to this forum.
Greetz, Ton
