I recently purchased low miles (33K) Giulietta Cloverleaf 1750TBI. Looks great, goes very well, but the engine sounds a bit like a diesel on occasion. Unfortunately I have nothing to compare it to. Anyone else out there with similar engined car? I'd be interested to compare notes. Cheers Gordon  |

Could be timing variator too? Do you know if it has been run on correct oil?

Belt, tensioner, waterpump to be changed in coming weeks, as car is 5yrs old. So we will see if that makes difference.
I am suspicious of the high pressure fuel pump, which is on the engine driven by the cam. it is ticking quite loudly.
Car has only 33K though.
Car does have service history which looks genuine ( but not main dealer) Therefore not sure if correct oil has been used.
Cheers

Not to worry I have a 2016 veloce with the same engine. Bought it when 15 months old and returned it to Donnellys for warranty work including noise on tick over. They lent me a new black veloce which was just as noisy so I assume it is an engine trait.
