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

Regular maintenance of the vehicle ensures a long life. Adding specific additives to the engine oil, gearbox oil, and petrol improves performance, cold starts, cleans the inside of the engine, and reduces sludge in the engine. To add the additive, disconnect the fuel line, insert the container's mouth, and press to introduce the correct amount of liquid. Wait a while for the additive to take effect. Start the engine in an open space and perform various accelerations to continue the cleaning. If necessary, proceed with a second attempt.
