Punters Addition ... 1.2 Punto Active

pawan_pullarwar · 22nd March 2010, 15:48

Congratulations. Can you write how is the handling as compare to your Esteem.

NutsNBolts · 22nd March 2010, 21:02

Wow, Bopanna. The red dress just looks smashing on your Punto. A lots of buyers are actually turning to the 1.2 edition. With the newer launches in better trim variants, the sales should be interesting.

I heard 1.2 is better than the 1.4 variant in city use. What is your opinion regarding that? Any way congrats bopanna for your priced acquicition

Caramelo · 23rd March 2010, 17:06

Bopanna congrats on the new buy, car looks smashing. Could you please post pics for your car from side view, even I am planning for a same kind of setup on my punto

Congrats Bopnna for the spanking red Punto. Finally, people have opened up for the 1.2Fire now. How much did you cough up for the beauty?
Aren't wheel caps standard on the Active 1.2. Couldn't spot yours. Some interior snaps would also be welcome.
Keep us updated about that stalling issue and happy motoring with the car.

Hi ,
How is the 68ps engine responding. Do you feel sluggish

kailashnj · 28th March 2010, 09:10

Congrats on you new purchase and Punto is a pleasure to watch in red colour.

How are things with the car? Any inputs about the mileage and the service?

It'd be great to have a detailed ownership report on the forum because the 1.2 version is rare (on the forum) and I for one believe that this is an underrated engine. I had test driven the car out of curiosity, and it felt quite good.

Congratulations for the Punto. It looks really hot in that color. But it definitely needs a nice set of rims.

Hello
Members I have a Fiat Punto Active 1.2 which has done about 7000 kms, from the last week I have noticed a Hum in the Rev Band which is quite audible in the mornings and is a little loud in the Low rev's when youaccelerate slowly there is a Hum from the engine Bay, some one heard the same and told me it could be that one of the Belts is Loose or Tight, could you please tell me what it could be.

The sound appears to be evident when you are turning the car to either sides and are driving in first and second gears.

regards
Bopanna Kunjappa

Yup check the belts, especially the one that drives the power steering pump

but it will be more of screeeeeetch than humm.

Bopanna19 · 14th October 2010, 20:03

I guess it is the same thing because,even the power steering is not very smooth it has small shudders intermittntly....
