Hi
I have a 2007 punto grande, I have had it since it was 2 years old. All the time I have owned the car, it's always had this annoying problem where sometimes when you go to start the car it makes a loud grinding noise.
Like I say it's always done it and sometimes it would take 2 or 3 attempts to start the car as it would just grind. Also sometimes when it did start the mileage would flash.
Everyone who heard this kept saying it was the starter motor so today I eventually bit the bullet and got the starter motor replaced. Anyways the car is still doing the same thing. Arrrghhh
So anyone know what else it could be? I am sure I have read before that the punto grande was issued with an underpowered battery, and this can cause what my car suffers from.
Has anyone else heard this? If so what battery do I need to buy? And if not what else could be causing this?
I'd really love to try and nail this once and for all.
Thanks for any help
