Hi, I am experiencing a slight problem with my Grande Punto 1.9 Sporting
At idle there is a horrible loud tapping/squaking sound coming from the engine bay. Reving the engine a little seems to quiet it down but once it goes back to idle the noise re-appears.
I'm inclined to think that it's the injectors that may be causing it, putting a screwdiver onto each injector and it seems like the sound from 1 and 2 is different to 3 and 4, and disconnecting one injector seems to make the noise disappear.
Has anyone experienced these issues before or have any idea what could be causing it?
It's a 57-plate 1.9 Multijet with 75K miles. The cambelt and water pump have already been replaced.
Any advice is appreciated, Thanks.
