hi guys my stilo abarth sounds like the exhaust is blowing tho the sound is from the engine bay.
it sounds like a diesel not petrol

it settles down after a few ,minutes and runs fine

any and advice help on how to fix this please.
much appreciated jay
 
A diesel-like noise at idle on the 2.4 engine is usually indicative of failure of the variator (hydraulic/solenoid alteration of cam/valve timing). Suggest you do a search, this has been covered many times before...
