(G) new stilo mw owner

Picked it up yesterday and so far very pleased with it , thought i would miss my punto hgt but to be honest i think i prefer the stilo . Have one slight problem with it when accelerating it sounds like the exhaust is blowing especially when driving down a road with parked cars ,took it to exhaust centre and they said it seems ok .it sounds ok when on tickover or when i rev it , it noticeable when the motor is under load . cheers Mick

Very nice, Jtd is it??

Dont know about the exhast blowing but mine is slowly wearing the flexable bit though and blowing there a little. Might be worth looking at.

Looks vry cool

yep its a jtd going back to the dealer thursday to have a look at it .

you checked your intercooler air hose?

No i havent as yet . the noise cannot be heard when car is on tickover or being revved , it can only be heard when the engine is under load ie accelertating ,and cant be heard when cruising . seems to start at about 1.500rpm and stops at about 3000 rpm . could it be the crankshaft pulley ?? cheers mick

flexi hose!!! mine is the same....going to giy it on thursday....

could be the intercooler air hose then..... mine used to whoooooosh whenever my car was under turbo load....

sorted it with some gaffer tape which it got part exed with on against the bravo

Looks very Mick.

I'll be sure to look out for you around Lowestoft

Where was it you brought it from

no its not a whoosh sort of noise its more of a tapping noise , however if i really boot it , it doesnt do it cheers mick

desira in yarmouth ,traded my punto hgt for it .

Oh cool. Got mine from Thurlonun Vauxhall in Yarmouth, they hadn't a clue what they were selling me other than the fact that it was a Fiat
At least Desira will be able to sort out any niggly faults a bit better for you than Vauxhall have for me (useless pillocks )

Nice car mate

She reminds me of something ........... Oh yes , my car
54-reg jtd too
