Yep, good choice for a first car, as long as it's in good condition
So I believe theyre relatively bulletproof
Because I'm aware that 1.2s have headgasket issues
Compromised cooling system is favourite for H.G. failure
Change the coolant regularly to ensure limited corrosion..
Check levels very regularly
Does the headgasket fault apply to the 1.4 8v
OK thx
What fault?
Any Alloy engine of a modern design employs minimum cooling fluid for fast warm.up
Loss of cooling will cause hotspots.. damaging the gaskets ability to seal
I've fixed failures on every FIRE motor
1000 8v
1108 8v
1242 8v
1242 12v
Loss of coolant is the standard cause
They are not notorious for head gasket problems.So would a grande punto be OK. Or are they notorious for blowing headgasket. And someone I think mentioned gearbox issues.
