Posts: 1,937 Thanks: 16 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: The terrible sounding engine I will be no one's guinea pig, I'm a free man ![]() Seriously, though, I will be keeping the current engine - I just need to figure out where to get the money for fixing it, and where to fix it. Driving down to Poland or Germany would be ideal (duty free sausages, Schlager CDs, Lederhosen etc.), but I'm a little apprehensive to that as I'm afraid the engine won't make the trip (although Flensburg is only 650kms from here). The local Fiat dealership is orginally a Mitsubishi and Chevrolet ![]() ![]() The third option is to have two Polish blokes give it a go. They're cheap, and although they have no expertise with Fiats, my brother can vouch for them as he's worked with one of them at the local Suzuki & Citroen the last 10 years or so. Typically, my brother just quit his job there last week... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Posts: 1,937 Thanks: 16 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: The terrible sounding engine Anyhow, might it be the solenoid which is knackered? The variator not getting enough oil? Somebody said that it at doesn't sound like the tappets. The engine does sound 'dry' (don't know how else to explain it), so something with the oil not getting where it should would make sense, or? Btw., yes, super - I did buy a stethoscope on eBay today ![]()
