Hello everyone, there's a little problem that happens with my car. It's a Fiat Punto from 2007 bought last year. This is a problem that has always existed since I bought this car, now I want to investigate more. The problem is with the clutch: after a bit of driving, it does a squeaking sound when you both press it or release it, especially when you release it (the sound can be heard from the video). So, when you start the car and the engine is cold there's no sound from the clutch, but after a bit, especially if you stress the clutch (a lot of traffic, uphill starts and so on), it starts making that noise, just as if it gets "tired"; when you don't use the clutch, it restores its efficiency, and there's no noise after a while. Other than the noise, it becomes less fluid upon release. I want to say that, when the clutchs starts doing that noise, other than the sound itself and the less fluidity, it looks like there's no other issues.
Note: when they sold me the car, they put a bit of lubricant when I said that the clutch did that noise, and it has improved since then, but the problem never completely fixed.
What can it be? Could it be a concerning problem? What do you think about that?
