Car overheating and mixing water with oil
You have blown the head gasket. Also, you may have warped the head if it's aluminum which will happen due to ignoring the issue of overheating...which eventually caused the "blown head gasket". So, it sounds like you have 2 issues to resolve. 1) Why was it tending to overheat? Stuck thermostat, water pump issue or??? 2) Repairing the cylinder head or replacing it if warped badly, if your lucky it's just a blown head gasket. Allowing a overheating vehicle to be in service without solving that the overheating can lead to MANY other expensive problems.

Fiat seicento 2000 reg keeps
This may be a puzzle...
The seicento (I drive the same car) likes to create problems in the heater section of the cooling system. The small pipes to it (behind the carburator) may be blocked or the entire heater may simply be dirty. Flushing the system with a water hose may help. Usually this problem starts slowly and goes away if you re-start the engine and then excellerate a few times. Check if your heater blows hot air - if yes, and if he keeps blowing hot air (does not cool down and get cold) ther is no blockage. If you have a blockage, your heater will only blow hot for a little while and then comes normal cool air - if this is the case, you have a blockage right in your heating system which runs your cooling system hot and the cap of your cooling tank will start leaking. This is a comon problem on older Seicentos....
Other general problems can also be the case, like defective thermostat, fan motor does not come on (check fuse and relais first).
In some cases, ther might be some air trapped in the cooling system and doing the above will also cure it. At last, check if your water pump is working.

Hi i have a remote key for my fiat grande punto
It's not a DIY job and needs specialist equipment.
Take the car along with ALL remote keys to a Fiat main dealer. Any keys you do not take along will not work afterwards. Fiat can then program the vehicle and remotes as a matching set.
Note that it's worth shopping around for this: it doesn't take much time or labour so there's likely to be a wide variation in pricing. You can also try asking independent automotive locksmiths whether they can provide the service: many can these days but there are also plenty who haven't invested in the technology needed to do the job.

Check the brake fluid in the master cylinder, it might be low, if it is, use dot 3 brake fluid and fill it. When the fluid gets low, it will cause a red light to come on. Have the brakes checked also, they might be worn.
