So I have owned my 08 punto for about a month and a half. When i bought the car it came with a three month warranty, so any issues obviously i want sorting out straight away. However i am only 20, and I have little idea on the way these warranties work.
My rear left brake light occasionally stops working, i can only presume this is loose wiring or similar. I presume this would be covered by the warranty?
What i am less sure on is the heating system. I bought the car at the end of august, and had no need for a heater then, and as an aside was in love with the air con having not previously having one. However now the mornings are getting colder I have been trying to use the heater, but it barely warms up, half an hour journeys and it only starts to warm up, and even then its not doing much. Demisting the windscreen just doesn't happen with "hot" air, meaning i need to blast cold air and the air con when its 3 degrees outside. Would the warranty cover this?
The temperature gauge works fine, temp sitting in the middle.
The warranty only says it doesn't cover replaceable parts like light bulbs and tyres etc. But as a used car would the faults like above be covered if they were like that before i purchased the car? I would happily give any fixes a go myself as it is a bit of a trek to get to the garage, but would this void the warranty as it would with trying to fix phones etc?
Thanks!!!!!
