I have recently bought a fiat punto (2000 W reg ELX model, 5 dr).
I havent been driving it long and have noticed a few liitle points that are concerning me. The main thing at the moment is that i have noticed the car jurks when trying to accelerate in lower and sometimes higher gears and seems to have very little power reaching the engine from the accelerator. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
I have also noticed a high pitched rev/screeching noise coming from the engine (particularly when the engine is cold) im wondering if this is connected to the jurky problem?
Please can anyone help? It's my first car and im a bit paranoid about anythig going wrong.
