hi everyone, wot a fab site this is!!
i came upon this forum by accident trying to find someting, anything that could help me with a prob i am having with my power steering!! which, having read this forum, seems pretty common! my punto is a W reg (2000) 1.2 ELX auto speedgear, and whilst parking up about 6 weeks ago the power steering light came on and the steering went like a brick, i was told by the garage that if it was the main motor it would be about 600 quid to fix, but it could just be a loose connection! so, went home and about a week later i got in it one day and the light had gone off and the steering was fine!!!!! i was really chuffed, but AHA it was short lived as a week later it went again!!! my hubby (who like me is not at all mechanically minded) took the steering colomn off to see if he could see anything obvious, he couldnt but he put on a curcuit tester and one of the wires (the lilac one) was going on and off and all the others were ok, could anyone help us from here, does anyone have a layout of the wiring for the power steering, i would be extatic if this was a simple connection problem, and save 600 quid!!!
thanks in advance for any help :)
