Have a load test done on the battery . Check battery posts and terminals are shiny clean and tight.. Check the alternator drive belt condition and tension because if it drives both the alternator and the power steering pump it indicates a belt problem.
It won't hurt to drive it. Steering will just be stiffer without the power steering. Once you are moving, it will be easier to steer.
Don't know the problem, a shop will have to check it out. But it is okay to drive it.
fiat puntos have electronic power steering if you remove the fuse panel on the drivers side you will see the fuses you will see a motor that is the power steering motor connected to that its got its own ecu most of the time they do fail heres where its located.
Do the following if your drive belt is okay and your tensioner is okay.........Probably air in the system. Turn the steering wheel while running the engine in park,to extreme left where you hear the noise of the bypass kick in,for 5 seconds.Then turn to extreme right and hold it in extreme bypass position for 5 seconds.This will bleed some air out.
Check power steering level and repeat this a coupla' times if necessary. Make sure not to overfill it. don-ohio
Check that the belt is tight on the alternator and the power steering pump. If it slips, that could cause the light on the dash ( a charge light) and the lack of power steering assist.
First you have to check power steering fluid level, and if it's ok then you have to check power steering pump. If you have a EPS light on your dash, then you have to plug a ODBII diagnostic tool to read code and then interpret what the problem is.
vauxhall charge 47 pound to look at the car for you sounds like the steering rack but i cant be sure, i would take it to vauxhall cause a backstreet could get it wrong and it would cost you more
