Hi,
We brought a secondhand Fiat 500 at the weekend and all was fine on test drive ect. However.....
Whist doing paperwork we left ignition on for about 5mins and a power steering error came up! Restarted ignition & ran engine all was ok.
Done a 2hr motorway journey home without any problems, enough time to charge a low battery I would have thought.
Anyway missus drove to work today and whist driving and steering went heavy & the same error came up. Restarted engine all ok again.
So i'm hoping its a simple fix like battery or Alternator and will test tonight with muitimeter.
Car started this morning no problem so i'm thinking its not the Batt, i'm wondering if its the alternator or worse!!!
Any help or advice especially for this model please.
