Hey all. This is my first post on this excellent site since i became a 2nd time Fiat owner in november, and i gotta say that i have already gleaned much info from this site.
Ever since i got my stilo in november just passed, i have been uncomfortable with the steering as it is nowhere neer as smooth as my 306 was, or any other car i have driven with power steering for that matter.
its hard to describe, but when driving at any speed, the pressure when turning the wheel suddenly increases and i have to put a little more effort into moving the wheel before it becomes 'unstuck'. also after turning left at a T junction for example, when turning the wheel back to the right to straighten up needs an unsticking kind of effort in turning the wheel. this is most noticable when making small course changes such as changing motorway lanes (I always have to have both hands on the wheel on motorways and dual carriages).
I took it to NWS in Keighley, west yorks and two of the mechanics drove it and couldnt find any fault.
So the big question has to be is this something that comes hand-in-hand with the EPAS and i just gotta get used to it, or do i have a problem with my stilo.
