Hi,
I'm fully aware Grande or Fiat in general for that matter, power steering issues are nothing uncommon.
But.... My issue seems to be the complete opposite to what you'd normally expect. I've read through thread after thread looking for advice before I posted but nothing.
Rather than my power steering dieing and resulting in it going heavy. It seems to have went unbelievably light, like stupidly light. It feel horrible, theres never been much feedback at all through the wheel anyway but now I even question if the bloody things attached.
Had it up to the local garage on a number of occasions the past week or so and had everything checked. Absolutely nothing wrong with it, only thing they said could need doing with soon is the near side front strut bearing.
Its an 1.4 8v 07 plate Grande. Never had any issues with it before, I'm the second owner. Regularly serviced, current tyres could do with changing but still a good few mil left on them and to be honest thats about as much as I know to say.
Just extremely frustrating collecting it from the garage and being told theres nothing wrong and its just a usual fiat with light steering. But I know its entirely different than it used to be.
Anyone heard of anything similar ? Or even any idea what it could be ?
Cheers
