HarleyJai95 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Ok so bought a lupo last week all seemed well apart from a whining noise so I changed alternator belt to no avail shortly after that it has now developed a grinding noise sounds like metal on metal coming from engine checked oil, that's fine, also no noise is present whilst idling I have the cambelt and water pump kit to be done tomorrow however this is only to stop whining noise? Anyone else had similar problem? Model is the 1.4 sport aub engine code Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
