I have had my 03 Punto now for several months.
Several weeks ago I found my passenger footwell soaking, I have since discovered that there is a water leak from the piping to the heater matrix or possably from the matrix itself. I have taken off the side panels to the central consul but can see no way to get to the pipes or matrix behind/below the consul.
Any advice or pointers would be helpfull

Hi

Hopefully you've fixed this by now, but if not, it's not a simple job I'm afraid.  Punto heater matrixes are prone to corrosion if the anti freeze isn't changed religiously every 2 years(that goes for all Fiats and Alfa heaters as well)   Fixing it will usually involve removal of a fair bit of the dash unit, so unless you're VERY handy with the spanners, I'd save up a few quid and get it to your local garage.
