Had my 53 reg punto active 1.2 for about 6 months - the other day i started the car & power steering failure light came on. Stopped and re-started the engine but the light was still on, except this time the engine management system light came on (glowing steady amber).
Had to drive the car back to work (very heavy without power steering) - when i then restarted the engine, power steering came back on. Had to drive the car home, and although engine management light was on, the performance of the engine/handling of the car was the same as normal.
However, later in the evening i had to use the car, and all warning lights had gone off - the car drove fine!
When i later came to use the car again, the power steering has failed again, and upon restarting the engine, the engine management light has come on. This time though, my trip computer has lost all of its information except for total and trip mileage.
Ive booked it into a dealer, but as this is an intermittent problem, i fear they may come back to me and say nothing is wrong!!!
Any ideas???
Help much appreciated.
