    Punto GT engine knocking.

    Hi all.

    Does anyone know why the engine is doing the following,
    And what would be needed/involved in fixing?

    The engine is lacking power, it runs ok if you don't exceed 5500-6000rpm
    If you put your foot down it knocks.

    I know this is very vague, but does anyone have any ideas what it could be?
    Could it be cam wear?

    Cheers

    Have you tried doing a blink test to check for any errors stored on the ecu?

    No, I haven't done that yet, as it sounds as though it's mechanical.
    For what it's worth, I'll try the "blink test" but I have a feeling it's something to do with the camshaft.
