Had a sticking valve which was repaired under warranty.
Tends to go through tyres and 185/55 14 tyres are not cheap. Addition of a K&N induction kit and Supersprint exhaust have made it sound amazing under hard acceleration. The handling is not bad, but could do with a set of aftermarket gas shocks and lowering springs (Eibach or Abarth).
The gearbox can be a bit notchy, but other than that, quite good.
The car revs high at motorway speeds due to close gearing.
A must modification for any Punto is to get rid of those god awful orange side repeaters for some colour coded or clear ones.
The ride can be a bit harsh so the car can tend to rattle.
Also, if you change the discs or pads yourself, all sportings have 257mm solid discs. Halfords sold me 240mm discs.
You said you fitted a K&N induction kit to your Punto Mk2 16v.
I have not managed to find a kit.. just a K&N cone filter which the retailer said he would fit for me in the engine bay.
Would I be doing a good job?
Thanks.
