When i part exchanged i went back in and my car is up gfpor £1795!!! and he said the motor needs to be fixed which is only about 200punds compared to the £1000 i heard in this dicussion when i had mine it sounds alot better! i hope this will help people out!- i got a puma and thats playing up too i made a new discussion if any1 wants to help! i think i may just be unlucky in motoring!!! - to be honest i think i would rather have my punto back now! regardless of powersteering! Happy motoring- at least punto drivers will have big muscles!
It was about August. I am just sitting back and waiting. If nothing happens, we have not lost anything.

My sisters power steering light came on a few weeks ago, wot a nightmare. With me going out to buy the car for her, i felt some what responsible and took it on to get it fixed, i know what was i thinking buying a fiat. I took no noticed of what people told me about fiats and thought they cant be that bad. i couldn t of been more wrong. Anyway took it to fiat they want £600 *!#%!@ to that, so i takes it down to a car diagnostic place and they couldn t help, so i then turned to this forum to get some info and i tried everything from checking fuses and wires to charging the battery, no joy. Basically that light means your pump is f***** and you need a new one. So i heard of this bba reman place that ev1 was talking about so i looked into that. To my dissappointment it was still costly, they wanted £250 for part then there was pakaging and postage cost which were £20 plus you have to send them your old one back £20 again. So were up to 290 then a garage to take it off and fit the new part which was £50 and that was cheap as i new the lad. I dont know about yous but my eyes water of the thought of handing that sort of money over to fix your car. So heres wot i did and i hope this will help any of yous with that dreaded red steering light on your dash. Ring as many motor car salvage places around your area till you get your hands on one and fit the B******* your self. I paid £75 for the part, got a receipt and told him if it did nt work ill be bringing it back. I then started taking the steering pump out, Im no mechanic and no not much about cars so its definatly do able, just took my time and took notice of eveything i unsrewed and put it back the same way. and would you adam and eve it, the light went off and the car is running perfect. Get in there now the car is getting sold this week, DONT BUY FIATS, hope ive helped.
If you go on ebay, to their shop, you can get it for £165.00 plus £17.00 postage (for the return of your old one) I paid about £183 i think it was, and two hours labour form my local garage. sorted and no dirty hands... I hope you contacted bbc.co.uk/watchdog? Craig
By that time you can get rid of the Fiat you have and get a Fiesta or Corsa (watch Vauxhall though, some of them have electronic power steering)
Please can anyone help me!!!PPPLLEEAAASEEE For the last few months my steering has felt different like the power steering wasnt working properly(not really noticable) So i asked me dad to look at it and he said 'its in your head feels fine to me'.......So.............after another 2/3 weeks i was driving (still thinking there is something wrong) and my steering light comes on...I KNEW IT!! So i take it to the garage and they put it on dianoisc machine and say that the 'Moment censor faulty' and this needs new column at £700 aarrgghh!!! Ok i thought if this is going to make my punto all better than fine go ahead(wasnt that calm at time). ............but now i have it back the steering feels the same and still doesnt feel right but the light hasnt come on at all. Is it me??is it in my head??? whats going on?...please help!!!? Dan
