Hi all,
I'm new here and I'm hoping some of you guys might be able to help me.
My girlfirend has an 07 plate Panda. About 2 weeks ago the power steering 'went off' when she was pulling away - the power steering warning light came on and the power steering wasn't working. The next time she started the car, the steering was fine. We looked online and this seemed to be quite common.
We took the car to our local garage (independent - non Fiat) who diagnosed the problem as the power steering pump - they told her to get one from a breakers online, which she did and they then fitted. Thing is, the steering now seems even worse - when turning left it's incredibly light, but when turning right it's like there is no power steering. Do any of you guys have any idea what is wrong? She needs the car for work and I'm quite concerned about her driving round it. Also, after buying the part and paying for labour, we're quite worried that we've just wasted a lot of momey Any help or advice would be really appreciated!!
Thank you for reading!
