I have a i20 1300 5dr it has been fully serviced by Richmond Portsmouth and is 6 weeks over the 5 year warranty date (60,000 mls) but has only done 38,300 miles.
It has developed a high pitched noise (the higher the rev's the louder the noise) I would say it sounds like a bearing has worn and screeches louder at lower speed (more noticeable) there is no loss of power or performance, it has been suggested that this could be the air con motor. and even if the air con is not on this would still be noticeable ? Richmond Portsmouth says this would not be covered by the Warranty as its has expired.
I would really appreciate any thoughts on this?
