Hi Everyone,
Got an MOT fail or subframe corrosion on my 06 Grande Punto.
Basically its rusted through on the passenger side behind the wishbone.
I've ordered a new poweder coated subframe with a 10 year warranty.
Bit disappointed really. I know the car is 13 years old, but it's really rusty. I got an advisory on the wishbones as well. I'll try and replace them later this year.
Are there any pitfalls to watch out for.
From what I can see I need to drop the exhaust, the engine mount in the middle, unbolt the wishbones and drop it out.
Anything else I'm missing? I've only had a very quick look at it with the car on the ground.
