Punto Gt turbo issues?

[dabofoppo]

I know these are fun to drive but what are the most common issues? my mate has bought a 140,000 mile one and he knows nothing about them. so does anyone know what the most common problems are? thanks.

It's too old a car to have specific issues it's a 15+ yr old fiat it could have anything wrong with it! I am surprised it's still going.

I had a Gt turbo in 97 it had problems starting when hot and noisy g/box bearings.

Old ones have problems with rear suspension trailing arm bushes collapsing, heater blower stops working except on speed 4, other than that it's an old fiat anything could break !

I think rallycross has a point. It's an old enough and unique enough car that condition is more of a concern.

Lots of things that might be fine or might not. If you want more detailed info then I suspect a bit of Googling and try and find a owner specific forum for them.

If it's anything like the Uno Turbo I had then the gearbox will be the weak point.

A high mileage "sporty" FIAT could have many things wrong with it though, all depends how its been treated.
