Not worth playing guessing games with a problem like that.

Get it to a Fiat specialist/dealer.
 
re: 1.6 Aux Belt

It is the crankshaft Aux. drive pulley breaking up. Very common on a JTD. Get a new one soon and don't drive it if possible because if it does finally break free, it is new engine time as it smashes the cam belt housing and knocks the cam belt off. Costs about £95 for the part and is quite easy to fit.
