Hello,
I have got a 2003 1.2 fiat punto. I have got a annoying problem, it all started with the engine fan blew and stoped working and therefore overheated a few times, the person who had a look at it bridged the fuse and thermostat plug to see if it was the fan that was nakered, the fan poured out with smoke and since then the engine diagnosis light has come on and the heat gauge has stopped working and the engine fan only turns off once you turn the car off not when the car is getting too hot.
I have had the car plugged up to read the fault and it came back with 'engine coolant circuit failure'.
Course this isn't much bloody help as i pretty much knew that anyway. I have replaced the thermo transmitter and it work fine and was so happy, went out bout 3 hours later to give it a proper test run and the bloody thing stopped working again and went back to the same problem.
I have now got a new job and only drive my car once or maybe twice a week when previous i was driving it every day. My cd player has a constant feed and so the display is constantly on as i always forget to take the front off. Could this drain the battery or do you think my problem with the engine coolant circuit part of the problem ?
If anyone can help please please i will be so grateful.
Many Thanks,
Matt
