Hello All,

I have a Punto Active, 03 plate, had it serviced in January.

Recently it has developed a really really annoying squeak coming from the rear passenger side :eek: , it only seems to happen when driving on uneven roads, speed humps etc, not smooth surfaces basically :( . I took it to a fiat garage and they checked it out and said they couldnt find anything wrong so they lubricated it :confused: and it didnt seem to be making the noise when i got it back a week ago. Personally i think it maybe the rear shock or springs, i think they may be loose, any one had similar problems?

Secondly i have a whining sound coming form the engine, appears to be a belt of some sort. My mechanic friend believes it to be the timing belt slipping, again has any one else had these problems?

The power issue is what concerns me the most however. When i put my foot down, not even all the way :D , the power seems to come in waves/it hesitantly delivers the power to the wheels. My mechanic friend again thinks it may be a duff spark plug as these were changed with the service, any one have any thoughts?

Apologies for the long post!

Many thanks (y)
