How to Replace the Thermostat on a Fiat Punto 2 Series 8v

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

When replacing the thermostat, it is advisable to drain the coolant system completely. The thermostat is located just above the gearbox, directly under the ignition coils. To facilitate the replacement, disconnect the intake duct hose and remove the coil pack. At this point, disconnect the connector from the thermostat and proceed to remove the corresponding fixing pins to replace it with the new one, ensuring to use a new gasket.
