[QUOTE="HairyJim, post: 2419522, member: 807108"] On the Punto Fire engine, the water pump is cambelt driven. If, as you say, your coolant is frozen, then the water pump will not rotate. It will then strip teeth off the belt. If you have the 8V engine, it is a "Freewheeling" unit, and no internal damage will have happened. If the 12 or 16V engine, it's highly likely you will need to replace valves, necessitating cylinder head removal. [/QUOTE]
