hi, i have fiat punto 1.2 (R Reg) Manual. recently it had some problems, its was loosing antifreeze and than heating up because of no antifreeze. so i used BARS RADIATOE SEALER, to stop any minor leaks, so for it was good. untill today a light came on dashboard, so i checked owner handbook. which says that light means FAULT IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION(red)
i checked engine oil level and it was quite low, so i added more engine oil(about 1 litre) but that warning light still comes on. (it flashes doesnt stay on for long)
and it doesnt come on when engine is cold,only flashes when temperature is half way(when fan normally cuts in) car it doesnt overheat, when car starts moving than temperature falls down and that light doesnt flash aswell.
apart from that light everything else is fine i mean car doesnt loose power or misfire etc.
Anyone got any idea what could be the problem?
and should i just carry on and ignore the light, fiat dealer are so expensive so i dont think its worth going to them for 600 pounds car
Please if somebody knows what could be the problem please let me know.
Thansk in advance
