What's the difference folks? And how can I tell what mine is? X reg 1.2 punto, cheers guys

Look at the rocker cover (here I'm assuming 8v). The cam sensor (if present) lives near the oil filler cap. All Mk2s should have a cam sensor: it was introduced mainly to meet emissions standards with (IIRC) Euro 3.

Mk1s had no cam sensor.

Not all mk2's had them

the higher euro setup was introduced around 2002/2003 i believe, as my x reg (2000) didnt have twin lambda+cam sensors where as my brothers 2003 did!

The new punto's have a different cam cover and belt covers with a twin probe exhaust manifold, engine wiring and ECU are also different to allow new sensors to connect

Yes, it's strange the Punto line up. Almost as though they made it up as they went along.

Anyroadup, to the OP, why are you asking?

yea they sorta did, like with the lights

With it been a X Reg (2000) im gonna assume its the earlier emmission setup - so its got only 1 lambda and no cam sensor

Just wondered that's all, so the sensor Is attached to the cover if the timing belt next to the oil filler?

yes
the sensors connected to the wire a
the wire a is connected to the ec u a
the timing belts connected to the cam wheel
the cam wheels connected to the camshaft

you get the idea anyway?

best thing to identify your car is through eper probably or read us your numberson the ecu under the airfilter box thingy
thermostat wont help here mind
