Replacing the thermostat of a Punto

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

We replace the thermostat if we are sure that it is damaged, we see the disassembly of the thermostat on point. Remove the engine soundproofing panel, unscrew the pins on the thermostat sleeve cap (under the vehicle), remove the sealing cap and extract the coolant thermostat from its seat after removing the screws. Once the piece has been removed, replace it with a new one, close the special compartment with the cap, tighten the locking pins well with all its parts. We top up the coolant tank with the new liquid. We turn on the vehicle and run a test to verify operation.

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.
