The damage that a collision can cause to the oil sump on a Fiat Punto.

Model: Fiat Punto MK 3, Punto EVO, 199, Grandepunto - Years 2005-2018
Part: Oil pan

In this video, we are warned about the damage that can be caused by an impact, even a small one, to the oil pan. Even if we don't lose oil, the impact can still cause damage, and we must pay attention: the impact may have caused microfractures or deformations, which can cause vibrations and abnormal noises during operation. It may have also loosened some bolts or nuts in the oil pan or other parts of the engine, or small debris or metal parts may have detached from the oil pan and entered the oil circuit, causing metallic noises. These are noises that should not be ignored: driving with an engine that makes strange noises could lead to more serious damage.

As shown in this video, replacing the spring is quite simple and takes little time. After opening the casing halfway, first position the key, then the spring housing, and finally insert the spring into the previously mentioned housing.
