My daughter has a 58 plate Punto Grande which has a number of problems which I am hoping someone can help. When she purchased the car we noticed it had scrapes up both sides.
It appeared to have been in a minor bump, and we noticed warning lights on the dashboard at the time too.
Upon investigation we noticed the centre section of the steering wheel where the airbag is housed is not fitting right (it's stuck up a bit and you can see beneath it, I'm sure that isn't right).
When put on the diagnostics reader the codes it came up with were:
Steering angle sensor NGE,
1st +2nd level drivers airbag resist,
and Gear level sensor 1 of 4.
Once we had the codes the mech tried to get them to cancel but they all refuse to clear, he tried several times but they are still there.
My daughter has looked up a few of the items and they are pretty horrendous in price - especially the steering angle sensor which she has found appears to be around £133!!
Does anyone know anywhere we could get the items to sort it out for her at a better cost. Also does anyone know what the code for the Gear level sensor is for as we can't find out??? We still have a problem with the 'Hill Holder unavailable' message - as even with the handbrake on it will roll if you're not careful (it is a semi auto) - nobody seems to know what can be done about it.
Also does anyone know if it would pass an mot with a straight through exhaust?
All help greatly appreciated Thanks all!
