Apolagies been here a while seldom post. Daughter has had a 2005 1.2 8v 60hp punto, has had 5 years.
She has a radiator leak, barrs done nothing for.Thought i had it figured, anyway went to strip it all out today, before ordering , Radiator, was going to put new thermostat and do timing belt water pump, as that was done 5 years ago.
Anway off with gubbins fan etc, Once fan off noticed metal like solinoid type things on radiator n.s.different from anything i found on the net, Also found two steel pipes going to what looks like another radiator behind the main one. On the expansion bottle side, there are like crimped fittings on but nothing looks as though it is bayonet or squeeze to release and no visible nuts to undo. these steel pips run up and to the inner offside wing around front strut.
I also now reckon bumper has to come off, to get at it all. Be fun as she was in bump as rusted screws and bits of engineering to get all back together after straightening out.relish the thought of putting back.
Long story what are these additional bits on radiator ie solinoid and cable thing? What is the additional radiator with steel pipes ,and how do they disconnect? Might have been part of original but seperated in time.
Many thanks John.
