Hi All,

My punto mark 2 (2001) petrol 1.2 8v manual is misfiring.
I was advised by a mechanic that its probably the coil needs
replacing. When I went to have a closer look, I could see that
on the Ht leads (close to to where they plug into the coils) there
are some very fine hairline cracks in the rubber.

So, how can I tell if its the HT leads or the coil? If it is the
leads, can I repair them with black duct tape?

Thanks for any advice in advance,

Mark
 
Thanks for the reply, yes I was thinking the same, its just that the leads were replaced less than 12 months ago so it seems strange to have to replace them already. Is it possible to repair them with tape it if they just have very fine hairline cracks?
 
Less than 12 months old and you think they are failing?..have you sprayed them with anything over the last 12 months?..if you have it could be that that is cracking.
BUT if it was me Id take them back to where I got them from and ask for a refund or swap.

My Punto was also misfiring - turned out to be the coils
