Hello. I've bought myself a nice 1999 Punto 1.2 8v MK2 in august. at that moment I almost had no problems with the power steering in the 13-20C weather. It was only one time the power steering went of, when i was driving down a road with a sharp turn, i pulled the steering wheel quite hard, and then it went of.
But now in the cold months it failures when im parking, and situations alike that. when the car is holding still or driving VERY slow (parking speed) and i turn the wheel it failes and i loose the power steering.
I think it's because it those moments where the power steering motor needs to pull some extra power from the battery it fails - aka. it might be a batteryproblem?
Does that sound possible?
Thanks
