I'm having a real bad time with my punto........
Bought a mk1 1.1 55s 4 months ago,
I'm seriously debating cutting my losses and buggering my punto off wish i never had to because despite these problems it is my first car and i love it... but any more problems and im gonna crack!!!
If anyone one that knows their way around a punto can lend me any advice or any engineers that can get to the birmingham area to fix these problems for me i'd be grateful (for a fee of course , dont wanna take a garage because theyd have a field day on me!!! i'm a noob!!
Bought a mk1 1.1 55s 4 months ago,
- 2 weeks after had an oil leak from cover gasket and oil filter, replaced and oil changed.....
- Then had a flat tyre found it was the space between the rim and tyre that needed 'filling' had that fixed and tyre changed ....
- Had an hole in my exhaust (front part 'link pipe' with the spring) done a tempopary repair on that with sealant...
- Hearing a creaking groaning noise noise when the handbrake is on so think it needs adjusting, (locking point is quite high)
- Hearing a rattle from exhaust when engine is started maybe brackets?
- Went out monday morning and found the same bloody wheel from before COMPLETELY dead! so now i have the 'saver wheel' on (by the way i cant find a normal wheel ANYWHERE!!! unless £40 from fiat?!
- Now i'm hearing a high pitched whine from the engine bay when i rev the car in 1st gear (maybe cambelt or tensioner?)
- Rear wiper motor completely dead!
