My Punto 1.2SX (Vreg) has started making a strange noise while idling. It appeared to be from the cambelt end of the engine and stops as soon as the engine revs up (even only marginally).
The noise is a "rotational" one and I initially suspected the steering pump or alternator. Both of these seem to be OK (I used the old screw driver & ear test!!). On careful listening the noise seems to come from under the cambelt cover and as I said disappears at even the smallest increase in engine speed.
If anyone has any ideas what might be causing this I would be grateful.
Thanks
