Hi Puma enthusiasts !
I'm 24 years old, from Croatia and got my '97 1.7 Puma about a month ago (before that I was a Mazda owner). I decided on the Puma because it's a driver's car...and boy...it sure is. First time I sat in a Puma I was skeptical. The interior seemed claustrophobic, with those huge pillars up front and at the back, and that tiny rear window I felt like I was in a tank. But...After taking it for a spin I realized it was much more fun to drive then my clunky old Mazda. The gear stick is precise with short shifts, the seat comfortable with plenty of side support and that 1.7L 125 horse power engine is smooth and makes the Puma go like a rocket. Excellent driving car
I bought it with a lot of stuff that needs sorting out. For example, the driver's door lock didn't want to unlock (problem fixed, a spring came off in the locking mechanism), rear lights fogging up horribly (I'm guessing a rear collision, partially sorted with silicone), the clock doesn't work properly (some pixels missing - doesn't bother me that much), interior plastics on doors came off, glove box hinges broke, driver's seat won't topple over so rear passengers can only enter from the...huh passenger side :lol: , it has a big parking dent on the passenger side as well...but other than that the car is good :grin:
What made me register here was my latest problem. After this horrible weather came my washers stopped working. I did buy some low budget washer liquid that promised to stay liquid to -25°C but I mixed it with the existing liquid so I guess it froze up. What really bothers me is the fact that the pump isn't making any noise while I attempt to wash my windscreen :-( ...I'm starting to think that it's a blown fuse or worse...the pump is dead. Today for the first time in 5 days we had temperatures above 0°C so I tried again but nothing. Wipers work, pump ain't making any noise :-(
I don't have a manual so can someone tell me (or better yet, show me a picture) which fuse is the washer pump fuse?
