My friend has an 02 punto 1.2. The pipes to and from the radiator were cold even when the engine was hot and the fan would come on (obviously because the engine was getting hot).
I have changed the thermostat for them but it I am not sure if there is another problem. The temperture gauge goes above norm and only when you rev the car does the temperature suddenly drop. when this happens there is no heating in the car until it is revved. When revved the water is definately going through the rad now but only when you rev the car.
The car also runs rough until it warms up (I think the head gasket may have gone).
Is this a water pump issue or do you think it is something else as it seems that u only get heating and can cool the engine when revving it.
