Finally My Italian Beauty Punto Reached HOME

[SOOZ_PUNTO]

TASS experience was good. Explained the oils that were changed, other services like wheel alignment, A/C clean up, air filters, break pads, etc.
ODO is not reached 10K yet dharmesh as not done any long trip since quite a some time and my domestic use is during weekend only.
No major issues yet, even no issues at all. Quite happy on my decision to OWN a FIAT PUNTO. Hope it will continue like this.
After servicing I got 3 calls in last 3 weeks from Pune, Mumbai and Bangalore about the service satisfaction and any issues remained. Good that fiat is taking seriously ASS.

Nice to hear that FIAT Servicing is getting good proceeding further.
But i havent got a single call for my 2 services.

That's a great news that fiat is trying hard to improve ASS. But still they have a long way to go.

Sam, not many action happened with my Punto these days except a trip to HYD. Hence nothing much to be updated. However, I am planning to replace my FM antenna which was broken earlier. FM SQ is not coming good. Thinking of amplifying the speakers too. Any input on both things will be helpful.

Cheers!!

@Sujeet: Change the antenna pronto. I have read more than a few reviews where changing the speakers and adding an amp has not had the desired efffect on improving the sound quality in a Punto. As you know that the stock speakers are useless. If your are really wanting to do something about improving the sound quality, I would suggest you start with changing the speakers first. Remember that companies that make speakers alone (JBL, Velocity, etc.) make better speakers than companies that are into making xyz paraphernalia alongwith speakers too (Sony, Philips, JVC, etc.) . Go for good quality crossovers and see if it makes a perceptible difference. You may also want to change the existing audio wiring with heavy duty, oxygen free wiring. Go to a good installer as its not really easy fiddle with the Punto's wiring.

All the best and keep us updated!

If you can, please change the HU. Then everything would become easy to do. Don't spend even a penny before proper research and budget, else you would end up wasting a lot of money.

Hey Vivek,

Thanks for the inputs. OK. I will reconsider your inputs now.

For the antenna, I called KHT motors and they told the part will be available by thrusday and they will install it on friday.

Hi Guys,
I have installed the FM Antenna today. Fiat antenna was unavailable, so after a lot of hesitation installed Vista Antenna which fits perfectly. Service guys showed me few puntos where they fixed and it is working perfectly. The cost was 475 rupees inclusive of 25 rupees of fitting charge. I tested it and it sounds good.

one more news i came to know from KHT guys that today they inaugurated their Fiat showroom near to Inner ring road . There was no Fiat cars on their showroom in Whitefield and hence asked them. The service will continue in Whitefield for another 1 month and then will open the new fiat service center near ITPL.

yesterday, just found a new feature with my music system (default one). When playing a CD, if you press the 5 button, the CD plays the songs in Random Mode. RND sign also shows in display.
Will check the other switch functionality and update here. Repeat feature also available what i have seen earlier but not sure of the button which does the same.

Thanks for telling about the buttons, but i usually give voice commands to perform these tasks.

For me no option but to do it manually as i do not have b & M feature. I own emotion 2011 model.
