Hello everyone! I am new to this site. I have recently bought a 60hp Punto, but I have already got a problem with it. We took it too the local garage and they said there is oil leaking onto the exhaust. We chose not to let them fix it as it will be far too expensive. My brothers no quite a bit about cars but neither have ever owned a Punto
. Also the car seems to be over heating far to fast. I ran the car on my drive for 5 minutes stationary and the temperature gauge shot up to red after 5 minutes.
Also when I start the engine usually when it is cold a loud squealing is made for a few seconds until I rev the engine. Think this is the cam belt needing tightening. But no entirely sure?
All I am asking is has anyone ever had this kind of trouble and what was the problem?
Thanks in advance
Barbara
