Hi Everyone,
I'm pleased to report that my 2004 Punto passed its MOT. I was really happy about that ! I have since discovered I now have a leaking radiator.
It seems to be leaking from somewhere at the bottom of the expansion tank. I noticed that it was leaking when the needle on my temperature guage went up just over the half way mark all of a sudden and I pulled over to have a look. I could see coolant running along the metal frame(think thats what its called) from the bottom of the plastic radiator expansion tank which is attached to the side of the radiator. For illustration purposes I have put a diagram from Ricambio which shows where its leaking highlighted in yellow. Not really sure if this is the correct radiator.
My problem is that I can't seem to find the correct replacement radiator to purchase. The shop4parts.co.uk website shows 2 model types for the 2003-2006 facelift model Punto:
Valeo type oem code 51724188
and Magneti Marelli Type with oem code 51724183.
Does anyone know which one I should buy ?
I've looked for a part number on my current radiator but I can't find one.
If anyone can help I'd be really grateful.
Many thanks.
