Our recommendation
If your Punto 1.2 shows early overheating signs but hasn't seized, a preventative gasket refresh at a specialist can be cost-effective. However, if the engine has overheated severely or has over 100k miles, a rebuilt unit from £395 supply-only often represents better long-term value than repeated repairs.
