We have 3 Fiats in the family, 2004 - stilo JTD Multiwagon, 2005 - Idea MJet - Dynamic. The newest addition is a 2002 Punto 1.2, 8v (60 BHP) 63K on clock, for my partner. After a week of driving, she had came in and told me that the car was juddering really bad when taking off in 1st gear and reverse. I took it up the road and and yes it was bad judder. Have owned Fiats for many years and worked on all my car I decided to investigate, such an easy engine to work on, removed gearbox, clutch ok, bearing, flywheel fine. Checked all hydraulics pressure fine. Reassembled and judder disappeared for a while (10 days). On the 11th day reappeared as bad as it ever had been. I sat down and thought for many days, thinking about the problem and after deducting several theories, my conclusion was that the problem lay with the hydraulics that operate the clutch mechanism, the system shares the same resivior as the braking system, so ensuring fluid stays topped up is very important. Any way I completeling drained the hydraulics for the clutch from the resivoir to the master cylinder to the slave cylinder on the gearbox. I also done the same to all 4 brakes. I had read an article on Dot 3 and Dot 4 Brake/Clutch fluid produding air bubbles and water vapour under heat. This reduces the efficience of the fluid, not so noticable in the brakes, but I beleive that noticable in the clutch and a strong contender for the clutch judder. I replenshed my system with a good quality DOT 4 brake/clutch fluid and it has been problem free for weeks. The judder is a common problem with the smaller engine punto's, is the problem in the fluid that Fiat put in, or lack of maintenance, as fluid replacement is a service items at specific intervals. Please - If you are going to bleed your system and Brakes, please, please take advice, Haynes manuals show a good how to, but dont mess with the Hydraulics if you are unsure of what you are doing, as this is Clutch and BRAKES.
