Fiat (Grande) Punto power steering – problems, symptoms and solutions

The power steering of the Fiat Punto EVO (type 199) plays a major role in driving comfort and safety. This model is equipped with electric power steering (EPS), also known as the Fiat City system, which provides light steering especially at low speed and while parking. Despite the comfort, the Punto EVO and related Fiat models are known for recurring power steering issues.

Common symptoms of a faulty Fiat Punto EVO power steering are heavy steering, an illuminated steering or EPS warning light, and sudden or intermittent loss of power steering. Additionally, creaking, snapping or thumping noises when steering, vibrations in the steering wheel and play in the steering wheel occur regularly. In some cases the power steering temporarily returns to normal after restarting the engine, which indicates an electronic fault.

The causes of these complaints usually lie with wear or faults in the steering column, torque sensor, EPS motor or the power steering ECU. Voltage issues are also a known cause, such as a weak battery, poor ground or voltage dip when starting the engine. When reading fault codes from the car, codes are often found that indicate sensor or motor problems within the EPS system.

In many cases a rebuild or repair of the Fiat Punto EVO 199 power steering is a technically reliable and cost-saving solution compared to full replacement. During refurbishment known weak components are replaced or repaired and the system is thoroughly tested. This restores the original steering feel and prevents future faults.

Are you experiencing irregular steering behavior, noises when steering or loss of power steering? Timely diagnosis is important to prevent further damage and safety risks.
