I changed the cambelt on my punto sporting 16v yeterday and everything seemed fine. She started and ran smoother than ever. ran for about 10 mins. than again for 10 mins an hour or two later and all seemed fine.
this morning i went to start her and the engine wont turn over, theres just a relay click from under the bonnet? At first i thought of the battery, tried to jump it but no different. I got the multimeter out and the battery reads 26v when car is off, goes down to 19 when key is in the first position, and then down to 6 when it is turned all the way. This tells me the starter is trying to start but all i get is a click?
I was going to try the old trick of hitting the starter with a hammer to release the bushes, but i dont know where the starter motor is?
if the starter motor is faulty would i be able to replace it with one thats on a 55s i have?
any help would be great!
cheers, Nick
