Hi, I've got a W Reg mk2 Fiat Punto, 1.2 Petrol, just bought it a week ago but now it has developed the following problems:


1. The car's engine temp keeps going to red on the instrument cluster

2. There is no HOT AIR coming out

3. Smoke is coming from top/behind the ECU


I took the car to a local garage and had the system flushed, for a short while I had hot air

Today the same thing is happening again!, I looked under the bonnet and could not notice any leaks as such, all the fluids seem ok however there was smoke coming from the back of the ECU! Just behind it.

Please could someone help me, I don't want to be throwing away money on something that MAY be a cheap fix.


Kind Regards
Mo
 
If the cylinder compression tests out ok, it might be coolant is leaking from the edge of the head gasket. Try some Barrs leaks. That's the small bottle for about £5 not the big shiny ultraseal. NEVER EVER use that stuff.
 
Thank you all for your replies, i'll get it checked again and do what's recommended above.

Regards
Mo
