Replacing the thermostat on Fiat Punto

Model: Fiat Punto 188, MK 2 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Thermostat

Does the thermostat in our car need to be replaced? Let's see the disassembly of the indicated piece. We raise the front hood. Unscrew the pins on the cap of the thermostat sleeve (we use a socket wrench with relative bushes), disconnect the sleeves, remove the sealing cap and extract the thermostat from its seat. Once the piece has been removed, replace it with a new one, tighten the locking pins well with all its parts. Make sure you have correctly inserted and mounted the thermostat and all related parts. We top up the appropriate container with the new liquid.

The safe lock is indeed an anti-theft system that prevents thieves from accessing the car. This device locks the doors, both externally and internally, when the driver activates the central locking remote control after leaving the vehicle. To permanently disable it, it is necessary to use a diagnostic program such as VCDS that we will connect to the vehicle through the ODBII port. Then wait for the connection and recognition of the control unit and then select the blocks present and locate the safe lock to disable it. And the job will be completed.
