Hi all.
So glad to see theres a forum dedicated to fiats, I hope I find the answer I'm looking for.
I just got a Brava 1.4sx and have noticed a slight problem with the power steering. I've read in here about an electric motor (stupid sounding idea if you ask me, lol) that powers the pump. Is the pump powered by electric motor or is it belt driven??.
Anyhow, back to the problem. when driving the car the steering feels fine then it occasionally stiffens when cornering. I kinda noticed the problem more when I tried to park the car and found that the steering was pretty heavy until I revved the car a bit then it seemed to go lighter then back to heavy after revs slowed. Can any1 enlighten me as to the possible cause of this problem, please?. As I dont really fancy ending up having to go and pull my G/F outa ditch cause she lost control due to the power steering failing.
Thanks to any1 that can help.
WHY ME!!!!!!
