Hi
I've very recently bought a pre-owned Fiat 500, 2008, 1.2, Petrol.
From the day I bought it (privately) the 'Check power steering' light has been on/off illuminated, i.e. sometimes it would illuminate as I start the car and other times it would not.
This did not affect the steering itself until today. I drove to the supermarket and then as I got back in the car and started the engine, I noticed the steering was much heavier than usual.
I've been checking the forum and found posts suggesting battery and/or power steering motor problems. Users have usually suggested this when the light is on/off illuminated but the steering is *not* affected.
Any ideas what the problem could be? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
