I have a 1998 Punto Mk1 60HP which I like and these past five years has increasing smoke coming in the exhaust. The VRT test failed and out of affection decided to give it to my trusted mechanic to open up the engine. All it had was one of the pistons with broken rings. Of course he checked everything and what her else could be changed he did. Now it's working perfectly. It has 232,000 km
The head gasket is burned, this is a common failure on the 55th engine, because the gap between the cylinders is too small and the gasket simply burned in that place, after which the antifreeze leak in the cylinders. The most common symptoms are when the car start cold and for a minute two works as a three piston and the white pair of auspuff comes out, also you can se bubless go out from antifreeze bootle. I'm on my Punto so far changed the head gasket 3 times, the car has 240000 km.
yep head gasket is leaking coolant into the cylinder(s) . common problem with this engine. Usually starts with building up too much pressure in the coolant system, undefined coolant loss, oil loss, deposit of mayonaise on either the coolant valve, oil stick or even in the gasvalve.
1.1 fire engines from fiat are the strongest 1.1 engines ever made the prob is not that its a fiat it happens to every car even mercedes and lexus its the head gasket the oil is not very well and check if the water tem sensor is working fine
Hi, is the head gasket the problem? Same white smoke on my punto 55 1.1, no bubbles in the expansion tank, no pressure build up, no coolant loss. I'm lost ! Thank you
likely to be the headgasket, btw you said it doesn't overheat but the electric fan started twice (and if you took this video back in April weather wasn't really too warm).
Salut ma punto 1.2 60ch 176 1997 consomme de l’essence et elle ne passe pas au contrôle technique POLLUTION !! malgré la ligne complète changé ( catalyseur, sonde sambda, bougies, faisceaux d’allumage ...etc). J’ai une fuite d’aire quelque part autour du moteur ( durites ❓) mais je n’arrive pas à identifier ou ?

My car does this no matter how long you run it for with no loss of fluids so I would say it's fine
This is not smoke..
White smoke smells pretty awful and don't disappeare

I have the same thing happening. Same amount of smoke. Not missing any fluids.
