Fiat Punto 60 - 1997 - Top End Noise - rg
Hello Folks,

Are these cars prone to any cam bearing wear, timing belt tensioner problems, or anything to create a "washing machine-style" whine from the top end?

My neighbour left his standing for two weeks, and, on his return, found that there was a top-end whine. It sounds like a failing camshaft bearing to me. The car is generally well-maintained. I wondered if there weas a history of weakness.

Cheers
