hi all,
I have a punto evo 11 plate, under 39k miles still. So far i spent 700 pounds on the leaking gearbox only in 2 years. They changed the potentiometer amd some sensor. Now, the car sometimes makes a horrible crunching sound when going from drive to reverse. I only plan to keep this car till my finance is up. 2 years and go about 12-15 thousand miles for 2 years. I will probably have to take it back still as most probably its my clutch that its on its way out now.
But my question is, how do i drive it or look after it in the last 2 years that it wont give up on me completely? I know basics like never change to reverse or to drive till completely stopped but what else? I dnt use it in auto anymore cause somwtimws it revs up to like 60-70rbm or whatever that is before changing a gear. It behaves better if i change gears. So any tips appreciated or a name of a dualogic specialist as well. Thanks⁵
