Hi all, ive just joined ur site, ive had my puma for about three months and absolutely love it, its a 1.7, its black got smoked side repeaters and an ms spoiler thats gonna to be fitted soon (hopefully

) but have had one small problem. When pulling away in first gear once the car gets to 2000rpm the engine makes a loud sort of crunch or grinding noise and really doesn't sound healthy. Wondered if anyone has heard of it before or knows what it could be, would really appreciate any ideas.
Thanx guys
Pip xx

Welcome to Pumapeople.

A complete guess, but read this thread. Does it sound familiar, or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Welcome to PumaPeople

It does sounds like the Puma's self-testing thing - nothing to worry about.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand - strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO -What a Ride!:D
