Zaidi hp is 0193729617 and he is located at batu tiga close to shell
academy runcit.

Call him and set an appointment. Perhaps you would like to share what is
wrong with the Punto. I own a Selecta myself and has done extensive repair
job as well.

rgds and good luck.

going to zaidi is a slight rpoblem la. parking space is never there. he
never opens his shop at a regular time and i don't even know if he can
repair your car in time when you want it. but he is a very knowledgeble
person and i respect him for that. maybe he has his own reasons why he
takes time in repairing cars.

Hi all punto owner,

Just brough my punto nuova to service. The mechanic said the engine oil is
abt RM120 and the auto transmission oil costs abt RM150. While the timing
belt costs abt RM500. Are the prices reasonable?

I am going to drive this punto go back hometown, abt 300km journey, on this
CNY, what shd i take extra care on this car? normally what is the save
speed you all drive on the highway?

wslywei, hey bro. your Nuova, is it brand new or used because if you
bought it used, you can head on to any independant garage around
Klang Valley and get the services done. the belt RM500, must be the
kit and not the belt alone. the kit comes in necessary items, like the
bearing and tensioner and such. as for the safe speed, well it all
depends on you. how you manage in handling your car, and do know
your limit. and where is your hometown? join us at
www.italiaauto.com in case you wanna know more.

hi bro subsonique, thanks for the reply. mine punto is a used car so just
send it to independant workshop. I used to drive gen2 but this time i
decide to drive punto back to taiping. since these 2 cars are very
different so i will drive with extra care for this trip.

hi bro, review, sure no problem. in fact myself also looking forward to
drive this baby for a long journey drive. All this while i drive it around
city only. I like the city mood a lot. And i find that the punto is quite
power when it is on low gear. And it can easily speed up to 100km/h
without any problem. One thing bad is the handling is not that good. I find
that I lack of confident on the punto when i come along some curve road. I
have to tekan brake to slow down the car before going into the curve.

i am using 15" tyre too. I use the eco mode most of time when travel along
plus highway. Fuel consumption is efficient compare to Gen2. I think this
is because most of the time i rev until 2500-3000 rpm for punto but for
Gen2 i driva more aggrasive, normally rev around 3000-4000 rpm.

Saw 1 punto silver colour in taiping also. wonder the owner is in this forum?
