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 👍

A man after my own heart !

Glad to help !! Seems to happen to a lot of fiats as they get older.

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

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

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

Does it open with the button on the tailgate ?

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

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.

You cannot open the back windows on the 3 door ? And the 5 door has a different fitting for the rear bar

😂🤣

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.

Sorry I’m not sure I understand?

​@@PuntoHowto Punto and Grande Punto not hawe the same handbrake. But good .

Did you watch the video, I’m guessing you didn’t !!!

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

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

Thank you for watching and even more for leaving me a message 🙌

Sorry it took me a while to get back to you, I have 240Nm or 177ft-lb for the drive shaft nut

Replied to your DM 🤓

@@PuntoHowto can you give me your Instagram or Facebook ?

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

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 👀

That’s cool let me know how you get on

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.

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?

I'm guessing you drive like an utter bellend as well then !!

Lol written like a BMW driver 🔔🔚

@@ant060495 🤣 😂🤣😂😂

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

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.

Well it came off, one way or another

Really cheap to buy some as little as £10
