Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my Panda and have stumbled upon this awesome community. Your assistance on the matter at hand would be immensely appreaciated. I have a Fiat Panda 1.2 SportSound from 2004 and I have a Power Steering problem. The computer does not show any malfunction lights.
Researching the problem makes clear that my issue is relatively rare as there are no topics on it on the web. I don't have the traditional power steering problem of the steering being too heavy. Rather, the steering is permanently very light with close to zero resistance! It's as is city steering is on 24/7. This is very annoying and even dangerous, as I have to rotate the steering wheel quote a lot to change direction. So while I'm, on the hightway, I can steer for roughly 20 degrees to the right and the left with minimal response from the car. So if I have to evade a car, janking the steering wheel won't cause a major change of direction as the steering is very, very light.
Does anyone have an idea to what might be wrong? Please keep in my mind I'm not knowledgeable on car mechanics. Thanks for taking the time.
