I got my Grande Punto 1.9 Sport with 150.000 km on the clock.
Now it's in 163.000 (5.5 months later) and it's starting to make noises I don't trust.
At first it was only a light noise but two weeks ago I drove 210Km/h for about 15 minutes straight. All in 6th gear. No signs of overheating or anything.
But now the car makes sounds that were'nt there before.
I seems like the gearbox as the sound is gone when I push the clutch.
It's not the cluch bearing, I would reconize that sound.
Shifting to gear is harder that before.
Sometimes it slips to 3rd instead of 5th.
The sound is only when I accelerate or decellerate.
When driving on cruise I don't hear the sound.
The sound is most noticable on 2nd 5th and 6th gear.
Could the gearbox be on it's way out?
I still have 17 days of warranty so I do hope that if it will fail it fails now.
I tried to find topics with recordings but could'nt find them.
Also youtube could not show me one.
Maybe some had the problem and has a video of it so I can compair?
It's going to the garage monday as the have to replace the pedal box so I can also point them at this.
