ok .. Punto Sporting Speedgear(auto) ..1.2 .... just got it .. now ... Heard water boiling .. temp gauge goin up and down like a yoyo .. very little heat from heater .... some water loss..... Drives .. Like A Dream .. (Really it does)
i suspect head gasket has gone ... but i rang lots of local garages all wantin in the area £40-£60 for a 'compression test' ... when i rang my local Fiat Dealer .. they said comp test no good .. what you need is an exhaust leak test to find exhaust fumes in the water .. they charge £50 for a diagnostic ...
so .. am i right probably head gasket ?? should i pay the £50 to be sure bought from a local car dealer so .. do i go back as it is or go back with ammunition ?? ... bit disabled atm thats why i had to get an auto so not happy if i'm gonna be without it for a while as i 'need' my car .....
