Hi,

Does anyone know whcih Punto has the same heater matrix (any of them?) and if so, whether this is a long and involved job to change (which I also expect.....)
Thanks

Hello Jai,

Can't help with heater matrix on a Punto, but I know it was a nightmare on a Uno. But, please tell us how you got on racing at Brands today in your Fulvia, which sorry to say I couldn't get to see.

You'll find a link to the FIAT eper on http://www.lanciasport.com/LS_services.htm which is at the bottom of the page.

This ought to have the part numbers

Jai,

Take it you mean Y 1995-2000.

Below is a list from eper of what else it is used on.
Part Number is 46722423, & on my 2005 eper which is I believe the latest you can get your hands on, the list price including vat was £92.34.

Many thanks for all the help. I understand from someone at Covent Garden (super event) that changing it on a Punto is easy.....so I'll find out.

In case anyone is interested......
You have to remove the complete dash to change the heater matrix. It took me pretty much the whole day to take it all off and re-install it.
The heater matrix is easily available and cheap as it is the same as a Punto. the Punto Haynes manual is helpful as the basaic structure is the same. Oh and when putting it back make sure your heater controls are in the correct orientation to avoid having to take the whole blessed thing off again!!
