Hi all,
We've have some work done on our GP at the local garage (not Fiat)
They've fitted a new power steering unit and map sensor as the car was light on steering, pulling left and because of it failed its MOT.
We had known about the issue for some time but put off repair till necessary.
The possible issue we have is that the steering feels heavy, the garage say that its only because we were so used to the lightness before it feels this way but we've had the car for nearly 7 years and we don't remember it being this heavy.
The City button works fine and with this on it feels something like before we had the issue.
When we now drive it it feels as though the tyres are running 15 psi and its quite hard to turn the wheel round corners, is this normal for a Grande?
We haven't paid any money yet and i'm wondering if we should get a second opinion from another garage out the area or a local Fiat garage.
What are your thoughts on this, i don't want to upset garage folk but could with some insight.
