The Fiat/Grande Punto Expansion Tank (Part Number 51824339) is a key component of the vehicle’s cooling system, designed to regulate coolant expansion and maintain stable pressure in models like the Fiat Grande Punto (2005–2010) and Punto Evo. Compatible with 1.2L, 1.4L petrol, and 1.3L Multijet diesel engines, it stores excess coolant as the engine heats up, preventing overflow and pressure surges, then returns coolant to the system as temperatures drop. Constructed from durable, heat-resistant plastic, it features a translucent body for easy visual monitoring of fluid levels and a pressure-rated cap (typically 1.0–1.2 bar) to ensure system integrity. With a capacity of approximately 1–1.5 liters, it integrates seamlessly into the engine bay via OEM-specific mounting brackets and hose connections. This tank minimizes air pockets, reduces coolant evaporation, and prevents overheating, safeguarding critical components like the radiator, water pump, and thermostat. Its corrosion-resistant design and secure fittings ensure longevity in urban and high-mileage driving conditions.
