The Fiat Punto is arguably one of Fiat's most popular car in the last 30 years, these days there are many thousands of cars on the road all over the world as far as south America, India and on Fiat's home ground in Europe. Although the Punto ceased being produced in 2018 there are still many Fiat models built using the same principles such as the Panda and the 500.
The simplicity of these cars makes them highly sought after both for their cheapness to buy and run, but also for people who want to save money by working on their own car.

Updating Blue and Me 2024 what are your options?
As of 2024 there is no more Blue and Me Update website.
Will fiat release a new version in the future ? incredibly unlikely. The newest cars that feature Blue and Me are now in the region of 10 years old. Things have moved on a lot, Fiat is now part of Stellantis and so it is unlikely that Blue and Me will ever get any support again now or in the future.
If you want to add a new radio to your Fiat car, that looks original and has carplay then follow this link amzn.to/3zEDJlJ

How to install Heated Seat in a Fiat Punto, panda, 500, Abarth, tipo,
Nice😂❤
Nice❤❤❤❤
Hey pal, just got an 5dr evo GP few months ago, I fitted an orignal armrest so far and just saw your heated seats installation. Ive got 2 questions about that. 1 - What is the two-directonal arrow on the lower arm rest suppossed to do. 2 - What trim level had leather seats as i wish to get some or some seat covers that replace the fabric ones
The button on the arm rest is for electrically adjustable lumbar support, the leather seats were an option never standard fit on any level of trim, my car had been a demo car for the fiat main dealer in London so most of the options had been ticked
@@PuntoHowto ah ok thanks 👍
Ooh, this is super easy! But am I gonna spend 100 euros on a purely cosmetical fix? (Yes I am)
A man after my own heart !
Thanks! Exactly same problem on a 16y old Doblo. Works like a charm!
Glad to help !! Seems to happen to a lot of fiats as they get older.
Thanks. At 4:00 we can see the 'cloth wrapping' of the wire is coming loose. That seems to be normal at the ends of all the wiring of these cars of that age.
Very normal on any car that the tape unwraps a bit after a few years, and loses its stick. You can buy replacement fabric tape easy enough and I bought some for my recent mk1 project
Hello awesome video and thank you for the detailed information about the rebuild. I`m doing the same with mine Punto 1.2 16v mk2. Do you know the flatness tolerance of the block deck and head? In the Haynes manual is cited 0.1mm of the head mating surface, but in the Victor Reinz installation manual is cited 0.05mm longitudinal and 0.03mm transverse. Which values did you use and also what brand head gasket? Thank you.
I used an unbranded head gasket set from a uk company. I went by the Haynes manual but it’s not going to hurt to be even more precise. These heads are prone to warping, as I was not replacing mine for any over heating issue, I didn’t feel the need to be so exact, but if I was then then I would have sent the head to be skimmed
Just bought the third Fiat, diesel one, changed the air filter 20 000km; just wonder if it is good to put in sport filter K&N ( Abarth and petrol Fiat both have sport filters)
Generally you’ll find it’s not worth it, just stick a good quality filter and you’ll be fine, if you really want to spend the money on a sports filter then go for it but they are unlikely to make much difference to the turbo diesel
I did too but why i cant still open using the key ?
Does it open with the button on the tailgate ?
I am from India. I have FIAT AVVENTURA which is basically Punto. I was having a problem with battery drain out. Then after lot of research , i found it is the problem with my Blue and Me. Now after disconnecting Blue and Me box , the problem has been resolved. But now i have lost my hands free option , and my USB ports and mobile chargers also do not work. FIAT has moved out from India. Can you guide me what should I do ? Can I use market available android system without the blue and me box?
You just need to find a modern radio you’re happy with, doesn’t need the blue and me box, you can put that in the trash, you may need to research adaptors to make steering wheel controls work
@@PuntoHowto Thanks a lot. Do you know of any such adapters
Great reminder
These tools are pretty stupid - they have no trigger switch so you aren't in complete control and you can't control the speed. I usually end up revving it up and cutting/grinding after the switch is turned off. Most people would be better to get an electric die grinder.
Having been doing quite a bit of cutting this week with a grinder, I did try your suggestion of turning it off, but if you do turn it off and then try to cut while it’s winding down you pretty much immediately stop the disc. They’re not dangerous if used properly and with proper respect
@@PuntoHowto ya that what was only for light stuff. I was using one for a couple hours today and only issue I had was a a cheap flap disc shooting bits of abrasive. I do wish I could run it at a lower rpm though.
For the back are the Windos open are close ?
You cannot open the back windows on the 3 door ? And the 5 door has a different fitting for the rear bar
Perfect example of same, but different 😂👌
😂🤣
Too bad it is so much hassle, it should be much more accessible to remove the badge without the need to dismantling the front.
Unfortunately a lot of cars are overly complicated these days. Fiat wanted to make the Evo look abit like the 500 hence the wings on the sides of the badge so I think it was done rather quickly and without much consideration of the engineering
@@PuntoHowto my Abarth logo was severely weathered, I bought a new original emblem and carefully split the two parts. Then removed the logo from the original badge and replaced it with a new one. So I didn’t have to take the bumper off. Took me a while to make sure I didn’t ruin the new badge what cost 70 euros 😬 but it is done and the result is perfect.
Bumper removal Starts at 3:32
Lol. The same handbrake on Punto????
Sorry I’m not sure I understand?
@@PuntoHowto Punto and Grande Punto not hawe the same handbrake. But good .
Do you have the blue me update file?
Did you watch the video, I’m guessing you didn’t !!!
Gloves are an option 😮 I've had a disc explode on me, so I wear Gloves when playing with the grinder 😊
I must confess years ago when I was cutting out and fixing rust on my old Range Rover classic, my skin was a lot less bothered by sparks but last night doing this I think your advice of gloves is probably a good idea, the sparks did smart a little
Well said brother.
i'm still happy with my original radio. I use a cable which i connected at the back of the radio and still can talk throu bluetooth. still happy here. what i don't understand is :i changed the break pedal switch but the error in the dashboard is still there. no mechanic seems to know. any good ideas? thank you
Have you set the plunger on the brake pedal correctly ?
@@PuntoHowto break switch was change twice by 2 different mechanics. One of them fiat specialist. Can you please advice me where to go,what to do?
@@hasisul without knowing what the actual problem is I’m unlikely to be able to help, the switch for the brake lights is adjustable so if not installed correctly it won’t work properly
Mine flashed in my Alfa G and I swapped it was £60 back in 2019 so probably gold dust now. Advanced usb options to get to play music is the most stupid menu system 😂
I really appreciate your efforts! Thanks man!

you are great mate!thanks!
Thank you for watching and even more for leaving me a message 🙌
Hi - Liked and Subscribed :) Own and drive a 2003 Punto 2b 1.3 Multijet. Just replaced front CV boot but cant find any info on the torque setting for the wheel bearing hub nut. Any ideas how many Nm it is ?
Sorry it took me a while to get back to you, I have 240Nm or 177ft-lb for the drive shaft nut
I have the same problem on a Lancia Ypsilon, can you help me?
Replied to your DM 🤓
@@PuntoHowto can you give me your Instagram or Facebook ?
Mi perde olio dopo aver fatto il cambio
Did you get the seal to seat correctly ? Also needs doing up to the correct tightness, sometimes if the cap of the filter is damaged you have to buy a new cap
Merci pour cette vidéo.
Great video Andy I will be watching all of them again while trying to doing my punto cab up had work paying off hopefully I can do the same I’m not a mechanic by any means so will do what I can then get help can’t wait to see finished car
I’m not a mechanic either, these cars are very simple and easy to work on the main issue you’ll probably have is stuck bolts that shear off. Thanks for watching 👀
I m going to install usb charging ports for backseats, and this video will be usfull for removing armrest :D
That’s cool let me know how you get on
Gloves man! Uv light isn't good for you 🤔👍🇮🇪
That’s my Dad who at this point has been a welder for around 50 years so I think at this point he’s probably ok 👍
@PuntoHowto people use,sunbeds, they don't all get C but it's not recommended, same with welding. I'm not someone who usually follows all safety procedures but this is so easy to do what's recommended. You can't say uv light is good for you...
Gloves. Good tip, thanks, never actually thought about it. Only tend to wear them when a spark lands on them.
Did you do it on a warm or cold engine?
I’d suggest a cold engine, really you are looking to see if there is a difference between cylinders but if you do it on a warm engine then you have to contend with hot spark plugs and hot engine and risk burning yourself
@@PuntoHowto okay cool … so I’m curious whenever you have bent valves or slightly bent valves, that cylinder won’t be able to hold compression right?? I drive a mk7 gti and I know that the loud bang I heard under my hood was me jumping time.. I replaced the timing chain then later saw this video and did a compression test all cylinders were pretty much the same between 147-149 .. but the car runs like crap the car idles at 600 but after a drive it starts idling at 900 rpm so I’m just lost
@@nequanlucas2162 yes if you have bent valves then you’ll not have compression in those cylinders. That engine would be direct injection? It’s quite a lot more complex than the engine in this video I can’t really suggest what you can do to fix the problems you are having?
How cringe are you....scripted bollocks 😅
Hey why don’t you mind ur business and report some real crime
I'm guessing you drive like an utter bellend as well then !!
Lol written like a BMW driver 🔔🔚
@@ant060495 🤣 😂🤣😂😂
Is this a MK2 Punto , great work
This is a mk1, they are surprisingly very similar despite there being a big difference in the cars
@@PuntoHowto oh ok ,,, thanks for the heads up, great work btw
Don't bother with the boot gas struts - new ones don't last long enough to make it worthwhile buying them.
That’s worth knowing especially at the price they charge for replacements, I wonder if I could fit a spring somewhere to give the extra oooph to hold the boot up
@@PuntoHowto I lift the boot up then place a piece of hose pipe or similar, about 2 inches long split down the middle lengthwise around the strut middle.
Hi I have the same one I’m hoping to get back on the road any advice on anything would be welcomed
@@yelba100 these are pretty simple cars but keep watching an I will try and cover most jobs on the car.
Didn't see the circlip when i did the cv joint on my cinquecento, so whacked it with my biggest hammer and it didn't go well 🙄 Came off in pieces.....
Well it came off, one way or another
Hi, brilliant channel 😊 I've still got my year 2000 Fiat Punto, bit of an old friend really now. For anyone reading..where would I find a good wiring diagram for my car please? Not Autodata, no good these days sadly. Thank you very much for any help. Ps I already have the Haynes, not enough detail, its body computer wiring I could do with. Thank you.
“You’ll need some spring compressors” ah you lost me.
Really cheap to buy some as little as £10
