Replacing the Coolant

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

The coolant in your car should be replaced at the frequency indicated in the manual, as it is a product that loses its properties over time. Consult the manual for the necessary quantity to add. Remove the cap from the expansion tank and allow the fluid to drain into a container. Once the system is completely drained, screw the drain cap back on and reconnect the hose to avoid air bubbles forming in the system. When the fluid reaches the correct level between the minimum and maximum marks, close the bleed valve and the cap of the tank.
