Occasional power loss and brief starting noise
Often reported
The 1.6 GDi engine may experience occasional power loss, rough running or weak acceleration without an ECU fault code, and also a brief rattling or 'clunk' sound during starting that lasts a few seconds and occurs intermittently.
Italian forum reports indicate cases where gears do not engage or are difficult to shift (especially after stops) after a certain period of use; this symptom is consistent with faults in the hydraulic clutch actuator or other clutch components.
