Technical All sorts of problems :(

[DanPunto]

Hi there.

While looking for info on the problems on my punto in the past, I have found this the best place to solve them.

So now i have a real problem that i think only can be solved here.,

I have a 98 Punto 1.3 and it has 78K on is and it just has had its 2nd Head Gasket changed!

At this time I have the red injector light on and I have seen the fixes for that but mine doesnt cut out, but it does loose most of its power and run like something is blocked.
Also between the Mainifold and Exhaust its like glowing red hot. I can really smell is burning.

I hope you can help. I really have limited cash : /

Many Thanks

Dan

Timing.

Easy and completely free to check.

Ok Thanks Rallycinq. I just had the head gasket changed as I said should they fix it for me as the timing should have been done on the gasket change?

Ah, so you didn't do it yourself.

If the cars not running right and you've paid a garage to do it, then take it back and get them to fix it, free of charge.

No garage can hand a car back running like a burst ar5e.

Cheers

I took it in today to get fixed. I hope they will sort it : /

Ask them if they skimmed the head.... and ask for proof.

They said they did and it cannot be done again as they said it was the 2nd time and theres nothing left on the head.

They also said the case was "shiney" that proved it was done.

I have no idea how to check if that is true : /
