I have a 2006, 1.2 Fiat Panda.
Distribution was changed 2 weeks ago, but before and after the change, when accelerating, the car makes a warning-like sound that gets faster and stronger The more I accelerate.
Breaks were changed 1 year ago, battery in january, if these help.
Does anyone else have this issue?
Thank you in advance for the responses.
 
A short video of the sound might help

Internal
External
Radio on/off
Quite if you flick the auxillary belt off
Engine speed
Road speed
Worse passenger window open
Worse drivers window open
Alters clutch up or down
And so on

There just too many variables at the moment to come to any meaningful conclusion

Alternator cracking up is usually screechy when cold (I have had two go on me). There was no obvious noise once warmed up. BUT it is a warning of a fast approaching problem. Both of my cracked alternators turned and charged when removed. Both were locked up solid a few days after removal from the car/bike.
