Default Fiat Punto 2004 (53 reg) - a few questions - 04-11-2007 , 04:14 AM






Hi guys

Just bought myself a little Fiat Punto from the auctions. Nice little tidy
car, only 20k miles from new. Has not come with a owners manual or service
history book, would like to get both of these. Is a Fiat dealership the
only place to get them?

Also I have only got 2 blue keys. I thought Fiat's come with a red 'master'
key? I enquired when picking up the keys and he told me newer Fiat's don't
get a red key anymore. Not sure if he was BS or not.

What are the service intervals on these cars?
When is the recommended cam belt change?

TIA

They pop up on ebay every so often. There's one there atm but it
doesn't state what mk punto it's for.

parkers.co.uk suggest a service interval of 12,000 miles.

Out of interest what did you pay for it?

If it's the new Code 2 system you don't have a red master key and yours may
well be but you'll have to check it out with a dealer. Change the cambelt
every 36,000 miles no matter what.
