Have just purchased a fiat punto y reg from a local garage.
I had the car about 4 weeks wheh the power sterring light come on. this seemed to correct itself after turning the car off for a while and restarting.
ALSO, a few weeks after getting the car the steering always made a sort of rachet noise when turning the wheel when the car wasnt moving .. would that be any connection..
It has happened now about 4 times and i have now lost all power steering.
When i purchased the car a took out an RAC warrenty.
The car is due to be looked at whilst an assesor from the RAC attends.
I am told that the fault is probably the motor as that is what the problem usually is. BUT, it appears the motor is not covered. Please can anyone give me a glimmer of hope and tell me its not always the motor......
I feel like i have been well and truley ripped off.
I am at my wits end as i am told if its the motor im looking at a a bill for approx £500-£700 I am now wondering if the garage knew about this problem when they sold it to me -
