Hi,
I wonder if anyone on here can help me with a few faults on my punto.
Basically, its been sat in a garage from the end of August. I went to give it a start tonight and let it heat up etc.
Well the car started and I checked everything over etc. I had the car idling for around 40 - 45mins, gave it plenty time to circulate the oil and fluids etc.
When I revved the car up to reverse out of the garage, I got this whinning sound comming from under the bonnet. I don't know if it was because I was pressing the accelerator but it seemed to disapear when it was pressed (Might just have been covering up the noise though). I think myself it might be one of the belts but am no mechanic.
Another thing I noticed was, the steering felt very very stiff(It seemed to take more effort to turn the wheels than I had noticed previously). All warning lights were off so there was apparentley no power steering failure. I checked my tyres and they all seemed fine. Again does anyone have any ideas on this problem as well.
The cars covered 29,000 miles with full dealer service history. It had its 3rd year service in May so all in order there. Its an 02 plate punto mia.
Any help on these problems would be much appreciated,
Cheers guys!
