Specifics would be detailed per engine type. Performance Horsepower And Torque: Varies by engine. For example, the 1.2L 8V engine (176B4.000) typically produced around 59-60 HP, while the 1.6L 16V (825A.000) could produce around 100-103 HP. Torque figures also vary significantly. Precise figures for each engine variant are found within the manual. Fuel System Fuel Delivery: Fuel Injection (MPI - Multi-Point Injection) for most petrol variants, potentially Carburetor for very early 1.1L models. Diesel variants utilize Indirect Injection (IDI) or Direct Injection (DI) for turbocharged models. Cooling System Coolant Type: Ethylene glycol-based coolant with corrosion inhibitors. Specific FIAT coolant specifications (e.g., FIAT PARAFLU 11) would be detailed in the manual. Lubrication System Oil Type: API SG/SH or ACEA A2/A3 specification oils. Viscosity grades like 10W-40 or 5W-40 are common, depending on climate. Specific recommendations by engine are crucial and provided in the manual. Engine Management ECU Systems: Likely utilizes Bosch or Magneti Marelli engine control units (ECUs) with OBD-I or early OBD-II diagnostic capabilities depending on the model year and region. 🔧 Transmission Standard Manual Transmission: Likely the FIAT Type 155 5-speed manual transmission for most models. Optional Automatic Transmission: Optional continuously variable transmission (CVT) was available on some models (e.g., Selecta variant) in earlier years, though less common in later MK1 models compared to manual transmissions. Features Clutch Type: Single dry plate, hydraulically operated clutch. Fluid Specifications Manual Transmission Fluid: GL-4 specification gear oil, typically SAE 75W-90 or 80W-90. Specific FIAT part numbers and viscosity grades are detailed in the manual. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Wheelbase: Approximately 2,340 mm (92.1 in) Length: Approximately 3,740 mm (147.2 in) Width: Approximately 1,630 mm (64.2 in) Height: Approximately 1,420 mm (55.9 in) Weights Curb Weight: Ranging from approximately 900 kg to 1,050 kg, depending on engine and equipment. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating: Typically around 1,400 - 1,500 kg. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Euro Ncap Rating: The Fiat Punto MK1 received a 3-star Euro NCAP rating in 1997, demonstrating a decent level of crash protection for its era.
