FIAT Punto 1.2 cambelt question

Apparently there is no 16v engine for the Punto in 1998; all 8v. All but the

85bhp version are non-interference. The non interference engines have a 63k replacement interval or every 5 years, the interference (85bhp) engine is 72k, or every 5 years.

If you have an engine code, I can give a definite answer.

Thanks for that. I've not actually seen the car yet so I don't have an engine number.

As I recall, the 16v was used in the Sporting and ELX models.

All the 85bhp cars are 16v.

Cambelt on the engines is as above, however, I was paranoid and did mine on 48k miles (8v engine).

Remember to replace the waterpump at the same time - I didn't but had to do the whole job again when the pump died 10k miles later.
