Hi Folks
Recently bought Ibiza 1.2 on an 05 plate and what I wanted to know is do all 1.2s have noisy engines, I've read other reports saying the 3 cylinder engines are quite vocal and it dawned on me last night what mine sounds like and it is a Citroen 2CV but not as loud. Is this normal?. Car goes fine and performance is ok and engine is quiet at tickover but once you get past 3000 RPM engine sounds very whiney and thrummey. Car has been serviced by Seat so I'm thinking it is the norm as person before would have said something as they had it from new. Not sure whether to take it back to Seat as it's still under warranty but don't want to look daft if that's how they all are. other than that we really like the car.
Cheers
Andrew
