Hey Fiat people,

think I may have a problem.

Driving a Fiat stilo 1.6 16v dynamic 3 door.

When I have been driving around I have noticed a whining noise (shortly after owning the car, but has became louder as time has gone by), this does not occur when I am stationary and the engine is idling, however if I rev the engine to about 2000 - 2500 rpm (stationary) it whines asthough the engine is ran by a small electric motor or something :confused: . I have also discovered today that as I am driving around there is a constant clicking noise which decreases slightly when the clutch is pressed down or if I take my foot of the accelerator. I have an inkling that it may be my timing tensioners as I dont have any reciepts of this being changed before I have owned the car (89000 on the clock now) Been getting quotes for roughly £80 parts £140 labour (3 hours) If anyone else has any idea what this could be other than timing could you pop a quick reply on this thread as I dont want to go into a garage and get bent over and shafted for something that may not even be the problem, has anyone else had this problem?
