Wiring Integrity Check and Restoration

Model: Fiat Punto MK 2, 188 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Checks and maintenance

Contact with hot engine components can over time damage the corrugated covering that protects some wiring, exposing the electrical cables to a risk of breakage: it is therefore advisable during routine maintenance to check the wiring for integrity. If any protective corrugated covering is found to be damaged, check the integrity of the cables and then wrap the affected area with cloth tape rather than insulating tape, as it has superior adhesive properties and better resistance.
