Hi, hoping a budding Fiat mechanic can help me.
Few months back, the dreaded timing belt went, and the mechanic ended up replacing all the valved and guides.
Since then the car has been running fine, however lately, when warm, there has been a mild clattering noise coming from the engine when accelerating from standing. It comes in at about 1500 RPM and stops just as quickly. I googled and saw a mechanic say he thought is was valvetrain noise.
The car is coming up for MOT and I'm wondering is the noise can wait a couple of months till, or whether it's something that needs urgent attention?
any advice appreciated.
