I have a Punto 1.2 8v ELX with over 100,000 on the clock.
The temp gauge reads only 1/4 way while driving, yet it will go to 1/2 way when left idle, fan works.
Tried testing the thermostat in hot water and its opening and closing fully.
Also i am experiencing random short drops in power.
Feels like im driving into a strong headon gust.
It does this alot at motorway speeds, or around 60mph in 5th at full throtle.
Already fitted new plugs and ht leads, and as stated i have tested the thermostat.
Also i tried to read a fault code but fault code reader couldnt connect for some reason.
Im at a loss here.
All sugestions are welcome.
