Recovered to a garage who seem to be confusing the owner about it , looking at it monday before i get confused also ;D , oh its a 06 plate too now we had a grande punto in for broken belt in recently,twas only 8 valve basic car and engine. 8 bent valves tho!!!! the machine shop was adament there wouldnt be any bent. think the grande punto engine uses higher compression ratio or different pistons.  |

All the Grande's are an interference engine now. The older Mk2 Punto 1.2's 8v's were all free wheelers. 1.1 is masher though....  hope below helps: Engine codes 188A4 - 1.2 8v - Non interference (Mk2 Punto / Panda) 199A4 - 1.2 8v - Interference (Grand Punto) 187A1 - 1.1 8v - Interference (Panda) |
