Technical punto sports clocks

[Natalie02Punto]

hi, been thinking to put the sports dials in my 1.2 8v punto.

i have a question people say its easy to fit the sports clock in, they have a rev counter and temp gauge in. but mine hasnt, dont i need to buy cables for that and a cable or summit for the temp gauge as they wont be there in the car

There is an HGT being broken on the parts section. he might still have the clocks.

ring your local Auto-Electrician Up

As you will need to have the Clock Proxy Aligned to the car

Also the clocks you put in also need to be a lower millage to what you currently have

Ie you have 87,000, you'll need something with Less then 86,999

What version punto do you have?
mk1 mk2 or mk2b?

As for the mk2 / mk2b You need a lower one as the clocks Cant have the milage reduced, Only increased
If you put a clock set that has 80k on for example the cars value will disappear, as its done "35k" extra

As for the mk2/b its just a simple bolts off - dash out - unplug - new dash plug in - bolt in - done

There is a guide on how to change the dials on a 1.2 MK 2 punto. I did it for my old 8v fairly easy just need to take it to a fiat dealer to allign the clocks. I never however when it came to MOT time i just switched the clocks back over and all sorted. I am also selling sporting dials PM me if your intrested.

 

[DaveMcT]

The electronics assume a new instrument pack is being fitted so it always goes up from zero. You could keep the old dials to swap back for MOTs/resale, but that wont help with MOTs that expect the mileage to go up each year.

 

[Natalie02Punto]

i no its a mk2 but whats the differences between the mk2 and mk2b?.

how much are you selling the dials for and what milage has it got.

so no 1 no's how to get the temp gauge working or rev gauge working

the temp gauge and rev counter will work, u dont need to change or add any wires, there all already in the connection at the back. jus plug out old 1, plug in new 1...

I done this to mine, revs and temp gauge worked fine, but mileage was 222,000 when car had only done 45,000, so ended up switchin them back to the basic speedo & fuel as I couldnt get anybody to align them or rreset the mileage counter.

also, mk2b clocks use a different way to communicate with the body computer (think the connection is different too, so they cant work)

u jus need a set from a 1.2 sporting or a set of HGT dials..

Has anyone rest a clock to 1 more than max miles. Does it go back to zero?
