Fiat Punto Thermostat Change

[@NoMercy-ls6mn]

Even in 2023 very useful thank you 🙏

[@james684]

When refilling make sure heater is set to hot, unscrew bleeder on heater hose and slowly fill till you see water flowing from the bleeder then tighten. Next unscrew bleeder on radiator and fill to you see water flowing then tighten, done, this is best way to ensure no air is trapped.

The Thermostat is NOT "part of the housing". You can remove it easily (press the washer holding the spring and turn it 90 degrees, it pops out). The problem is, there is almost no separate thermostats on the market (so you must buy whole thing, assembly). The Thermostats are available for Diesel engines and they are very similar to the gasoline/petrol version. In emergency situation you could swap one.

Thank you. A great video on how to change it. It helped make it very easy to do. I had the factory fitted hose clips which were a pain to remove

[@luisbarreto4432]

Keith Cullern how did you do ir?

[@keithcullern7493]

Done this a year ago so can't remember exactly but used a flat head screw driver stuck in the clip and prised it open.

Hello where is the coolant temperature sensor on this model of punto? Thanks Daniel

[@GrandePunto8V]

Probably in the head.

[@chegvra]

I have a 2004 Palio 1.6v. The thermostats seem to be in the same local for all/most Fiats correct?

Hello I hope you are well . Congratulations on what you are doing is very helpful.I also have a Fiat Punto for the last two days my oil indicator is constantly on I checked the oil and it is ok what could be wrong .?What is your opinion? .

[@daktrdre]

Hello Mark, you have great punto videos and know how, please maybe you could help me identify a problem on my punto, it had a termostat changed with a throttle body change ( both new ) yet now ( noticed it like 2 weeks past the repairs) i am getting a rough idle - revs go up and down and the engine sound is unstable when the engine is cold, when it heats up however, it seems to be running smooth and fine, any ideas ? thank you

[@houditv]

Mine too, what was the problem?

[@AnoTherVview]

Mine look like is getting there....any update?

[@8kmar]

is this operation possible without draining the coolant? :)

[@AnoTherVview]

I've heard that you have to put silicone you don't find gasket...

[@epikFpv]

[@Lion-cf3jk]

Salve volevo chiederti il perché hai svuotato il liquido di raffreddamento

[@rac9535]

Great video! I have a question, yesterday my engine gett warm. I stoped the car, look at the coolant. But it was largely disappeared. But a little bit was over. I know my coolant water disappear fast, mostly in heavy traffic. What could be te problem.?

[@kayserili644]

Waterpump fail

[@zycieto-iniejei-bajasubaru7499]

Hi. I have Check engine - code P0115. I changed sensor next to this thermostat (3x ) - (becouse code show me this). Wha do You think? maybe is problem just with this thermostat? Did You had same "check engine" with same code - P0115?

[@Matthew-ve3yw]

I am going to change the thermostat on my punto tomorrow. Why did u remove the air filter? To have more space?

[@Matthew-ve3yw]

[@avocado9780]

[@Sam-cc8fk]

Hello, can anyone please tell me where I can find the coolant temperature sensor? I have a 1.2 L Fiat Punto (2004), looks like yours, but I don't know where the sensor is. Thanks for the help

[@davidmicallef4012]

when he starts to remove the housing its the green pluging to the right

[@Sam-cc8fk]

Thank you 👍🏼 I had to remove the battery to see it

[@james684]

Battery housing screws are stuck 🤕

[@Michael_T_Scott]

can you not reuse the gasket?

[@michaelkennedy8573]

I know this is a very late reply but no, reusing the gasket will not provide an effective seal

[@nicholassage2076]

@@michaelkennedy8573 and I know this is late reply too but when I bought my thermostat, gasket came with it , you can also use some high temperature silicone for extra safety as well

[@AnoTherVview]

​@Nicholas Sage were did yu buy it from do you have a ink sorry I know was long time ago

[@veydoxmilovanovic9324]
