Hi guys,
First post so apologies about the lack of knowledge! I bought a 4x4 fiat panda for a charity rally earlier this year. I’ve been driving it as my main car for months and absolutely love it. We’ve now set off on said rally and starting to find some issues that I wonder if anyone can think what the problem is.
1. Rear banging noise: this only really happened in 2nd but now in 1st through to 4th. If you are accelerating and lift off the accelerator suddenly whilst still in gear or push in the clutch whilst gently accelerating the bang happens. Sounds like it’s coming from beneath the back of the car. Thought it might be something to do with the 4 wheel drive system?
2. It has a slow leak of oil coming from what I think is the transfer box. The mechanic told me that this shouldn’t be an issue and is likely a seal. It has now stopped leaking which either means it’s fixed or as I fear, it has no oil left to leak. Anybody have any ideas where to top this up?
Here’s a pic of the Panda - doing it for Macmillan and McGrath foundation if anyone’s interested!
