I took my car out today and on the way home I noticed that there's sputtering engine noise from the car when I put the car in neutral and let the clutch pedal out. It disappears when I depress the clutch pedal. I didn't notice it before so I can only assume that it wasn't there before. Anyone have any idea what this could be related to? I noticed this when I was sitting at the traffic light.

I also find the steering to be quite heavy. I'm not sure whether this is normal or whether it's another problem. Can other sportivo owners comment on this?

I guess I might have to take the car in to the service centre. Not happy at all.

I have noticed a slight noise from my clucth the car is idling in neutral. Its a faint sound of the clutch spinning or something like that because when I push my foot down on the clutch it stops. I can't say i've noticed a spluttering sound though.

As for the heavy steering, the Sportivos are characteristically light in the steering so I would definately get that checked out...and the other issue while your at it.

Check your tyre pressure regarding the steering feel but the Stivo's steering feel is light compared to other cars. And maybe check your CV joints, steering fluid etc..

Just came back from driving the car again and everything seems to be ok now. <_< I'll just have to keep my eyes and ears open.
