Hi brought my Punto 60s 2 days ago, and since i got it i noticed that when i open the passenger door it clunks rather loud at about 1/3 of the way and then 2/3 of the way open. when i went to look at this car last week it was fine i remember cos thats the side i first opened to look in?????
My mates old man reckons it might be something that stops the doors swinging open?? Would this be true? Anyone got any ideas?? Please help me - i love this car and i dont wanna start thinkin horrible things bout it already!!!!


Cheers

Dear Sneaky,

I too had the same problem on the driver door. I went through the process of buying a new hinge, but realised that the nut on the hinge was not tight enough. Fiat dealer said that it was a common fault when I returned the hinge for a refund! (Why not tell me earlier??!!)
 
Try a bit of vaseline. The problem is the weather. when the air is dry, the metal will scratch and make scary noises.

greetings from the Netherlands!
