Noise while accelerating Punto 1.4

I have been getting this high noise(like auto ?) from my punto 1.4 while accelerating (second service onwards )



While taking that video, the rpm was always below 3k rpm. Tata and Fiat guys tried to find the issue many times, but they have been unable to find it so far. They are now blaming it(they call it knocking noise) on bad fuel which is not the case since I didn't refill petrol between second service and the first occurrence of this noise. Also I tried changing fuel (from IOL to Shell ) and the issue persists. Appreciate if someone can provide some idea on the possible reasons for this issue

It is diffucult to figure out the noise 'coz the video has been filmed from inside the car.How many kms has the car done?

You could check the following:
  1. Do you feel a drop in pick up and some sort of chugging sound?If yes,one of your plugs is not firing.
  2. Check if the oil level is normal(engine to be shut off and level to be checked only after ,say,10 minutes).
  3. If oil level is normal,open bonnet.Start engine and check if you hear some sort of clatter.If yes,your tappets need to be set.

could hear it knocking at the start of the video, a friend of mine had knocking problems in his linea and it improved when he tried speed97 from a reputed bunk . maybe drain the fuel in the tank and get it cleaned and try

Are you still facing the problem? I am not able to hear your recording clearly. But one thing I have noticed in my car(1.4GP) is that it is silent while idling and when accelerate , especially in 1,2 gears it gives a very unrefined feeling. Once it cross 60 km/h in higher gear it is smooth till 3000 rpm mark. After that I haven't tried since mine is a new car.
