hello, im not really sure how to use this forum thing. but i have a problem wih my fiat and im not sure what to do.
Right, i have a grande punto, 6 months old, 4,000 miles.
i have noticed that when the car has been stood a while it seems to choke to a start, sounding like a clapped out old banger, it sounds like it doesnt want to start, if u get my drift??
This doesnt seem to be as much of a problem if u wait a few seconds after initially turning the key before starting the engine?? i wait for a light to go out basically and then start the car, the light is a warning light i think. what might be wrong with the car? i have been to the garage i got it from 3 times and they say they cant find anything wrong, this upsets me as im a student and have spend all my money on this car and now its doing this!
Also sometimes when i start it is sounds like something rattles, similar in sound to an exhaust rattle, EXCEPT i know it isnt the exhaust because the car only rattles like once it has been stood a few hours, no rattle noise is heard when driving. this confuses me
also i have a squeaky clutch pedal, again i have been to the garage with this, they keep lubricating it but in days its squeaking again, does anyone know of anything i can do? please im really stuck! :bang:
