hi just wonded if anybody saw the report in the daily star today about grande punto, the car came last in a pole out of 1 to 100, the stilo came 97th.the Take a jump lead from the battery negative to the engine block (make sure electrical contact is good at each end) and try it. If it starts, you know it's the engine earth that has failed. If it doesn't, take a SECOND jump lead and put that on the battery negative too, and the other end to a good earth on the body. Hopefully an easy question to all with Grande Puntos. Does anyone know waht model is in the GRande Punto 09 Reg I too have been trying to identify the Blaupunkt sound kit in my (Dec06) 56 GP 1.2/8v Active.

I'm still learning So I have a 2007 Fiat Grande Punto 1.2 8V which is on about 90,000 miles. My engine temperature doesn't reach anywhere near the half way mark on my temperature gauge on long runs, the needle is still edging above C. Because, the brochure mentions that increased GC of 195 mm is only applicable to "1.2 FIRE Petrol" car. All other variants have 185mm GC. Yes, the earlier car had an even lower GC of 175 or 165mm. Cant recall the exact number. And yes, the 1.2 Fire is higher than its brothers. 1.2K 471K views 11 years ago The previous Fiat Grande Punto was always one of the better-looking small cars, but this Punto Evo is even sharper and has a higher-quality interior.
