Hi,
I'm new on here, having joined to help me keep my daughter's 2001 1.2 Punto up together.
The car has 70,000 miles and is largely fine. However it has developed an intermittent PAS snag - it's fine sometimes, not others. The battery checks out ok and the alternator is charging - though the latter does shriek periodically. I will probably change the alternator next job.
It also runs erratically at idle speed - all by itself the idle speed increases to about 1,500 RPM (no tacho so guessing) then drops down again, then up again and so it continues.
I don't expect the PAS and erratic idling to be linked - unless any of you experienced guys on here can say otherwise. Any help, suggestions, pointers etc gratefully received.
Thanks and regards
Andy H
