Hi all,
The present Mrs has a Punto 1.2 16v Sporting (01) Y reg.
We're having the usual power steering problems - intermittent failure etc. I have read on here before about the blue connector at the bottom of the steering column - BUT - I cannot for the life of me get the shroud off! I've found 2 hex bolts on the bottom section - but where are the others?
I just wanted to check everything under there before I had my wallet lightened at the FIAT dealer near us.
Funny though, as the steering keeps going when my wife drives it, but has only done it once when I've driven it. She does have the seat as far forward as it can go though and when I drove it, the only time I could make the steering go (and the light on the dash come on), was when I had the seat as far forward as I could put it and braked while trying to sort of catch the steering column with my foot.
Is it possible that there's a loose connection that gets caught when the driver's seat is far enough forward to allow the leg/foot to touch the steering column?
