I have a 2001 Punto with several issue..... sounds familiar......
1. doesn't always start, doesn't appear to be a flat battery as the starter motor turns over but the car just doesn't start. Sometimes if you try to start it again staight away afterwards the starter mortor will just turn over a couple of times and then stop....
2. when it does start it is very rattly - this is only as soon as it starts and only after sitting overnight and only lasts a few seconds.
3. Sometimes get a really loud screaching noice not sure really where is it coming from and it goes if I slow down, doesn't appear to be on the brakes though. I have tried to accelerate through it but can't. The car doesn't lose power, but won't pull quite as well. It usually only lasts for a couple of miles or so and then stops - only happens when I am driving at speed on long journeys.
Any suggestions?? :bang:
