Hi, back in january i picked up myself a punto HGT, brilliant car and very quick too !
Only just realised that the heater gauge only now comes up to just about 1/4, where-as before it was hitting half way.... After a little running the car on the drive and various long runs as well as getting stuck in traffic i found the fans wasnt coming on either...
After reading a bit on here about other peoples problems, i removed the plug going in to the temp sender unit and the fans came on for a second and the car cut out... (also had the engine warning light on then as well)...
So as the fans are okay i bought a new temp sender unit plug... the black 4 pin one....
Im still getting the same problem !
Heaters cold and hot still work tidy,car runs great but no fans and the temp gauge is still low.....
My worry is that as there was the "black plug" on there before,would have the last owner bought it by mistake and should have got the grey one ?
The wiring going in to the plug was 3 wires, and one green wire cut short (stubbied)....
Any ideas what to look at next on there ? most of the loom is tie wrapped up in plastic trunking....
Many thanks !
