When I bought my Fiat Panda it made a noise while driving. It sounded like it had starting bad front wheel bearing or that the gearbox was low on fluid. The sound seemed engine rpm related. I checked the fluid level in the gearbox, that was fine and there is no play in the bearing. Now for another job I took of the plastics around the steering column and drove it around. The sound is far more clear, it seems to come from the steering column.
last week the car threw a red power steering light while driving. Restarting the car did not help but after a minute or 2 it disappeared again. I've read several threads that the powering steering seems to play up with cold and or wet weather. It was near 0 and raining that day. I will check the battery, the connections there and I've seem something about the wiring near the wiper motor.
is there anything else I can check?
