Hello, with my Fiat Panda 169 year 2006, 120,000 km the power steering is sporadic, I would claim at least once a month. After restarting the vehicle everything has disappeared. I was at the Fiat car dealership today and the vehicle was read out, generator power steering defect, steering angle sensor defective. Repair costs 2,500 euros. I would like to keep the Panda generally, however, because the car is very cheap in maintenance, little fuel is consumed and otherwise with this car goes Never broken anything, for many years I NEVER had a problem unlike other vehicles. Reliable car! Is there any possible way to repair this itself cheaply, someone has already done so. I can repair cars, but is there the spare parts to buy individually? Thank you. Mfg Max

Hello, First information about the car: Fiat Panda 169 with 54ps Ca 130 000km First registration 2009 Shock absorbers and brake pads new TÜV new Oil change would be due (I think, was probably the penultimate year, since the time has to be normal again every year) enough oil he has but inspection would never have made with the car at least he has no notebook to it. If you need more ask. The problem: After a day he was standing in the sun yesterday he clacked at night while driving. I don’t know yet. But I’ll report. Is the oil going out all over the place due to the heat? Do I have to worry? Should an oil change with oil filter change fix that? Or can I save the change because what needs to be repaired where the oil has to be changed anyway? (So that it would be twice in a row and I should start the repair right away) Unfortunately I also don’t have the money now a complete inspection with everything that ever happened en (all timing belts, oil change engine oil, oil change gear oil, coolant change, etc) would be to make…that would cost 800€ or more.

Hello together, our panda gives when it’s cold a very clearly hearable engine truck of itself. This clacker will be much less when it’s warm running. It doesn’t completely disappear. Engine oil is available enough. Short under MAX. Does anyone know where this clacker comes from, and how to fix it? MFG Matze

Hello dear municipality, here is the error description: With longer full load 150km/h on the highway on, sudden power loss. In the stand the engine runs only on 3 cylinders, on the exhaust this sounds like a 1000hp ship engine of DEUTZmore speed and it improves a little, however it is to be heard that the first cylinder still does not run properly.In the meantime the error was gone even for about 2min! (without which a repair or part replacement took place) Cylinder 1 Verbren nt not right, the spark plug is wet (not wet) It can be seen that there is also a combustion previous repererature: spark plugs + ignition cables have been replaced! = no change 🙁 1 new ignition coil has been tried = no change 🙁 injection valve cylinder 1 has been replaced = no change 🙁 camshaft sensor is also ok.

Hello everyone here in the forum ! My experiences with the Panda ! I changed a week ago at my Panda 169 4×4 (APA /Bj. 2011 /125000km) both axle legs in front, as well as all four coupling rods since the vehicle already gave quite often rattle noises when driving. The axle legs were changed only three 1/2 years ago and were already in very bad condition . The rubbers of the joints (and unfortunately also joints themselves) were unfortunately again completely over again The coupling rods at the front left and back right were also completely in the bucket. Front totally knocked out and torn and back actually only the rubber kept everything together. For safety reasons equal all four renewed. As rusted the screws all were also a picture of horror. “No single” went without plentiful rust releasers, bruises, impact wrench insert on. Actually sad I have to say but unfortunately true. The panda is also as good as only on Asphalt roads driven, only quite rarely times on (beautiful, well-kept) gravel roads. The shock absorbers incl. cathedral bearings I have at approx. 75,000km front and rear renewed as they were totally rusted and unfortunately also have lost oil. Wheel bearings back have also been renewed. Have already installed the third brake system (dishes incl. coverings), which will certainly be due again in summer. Next is also the complete exhaust system due, the “Flexroh r” is already about to dissolve, the tube itself is already very rusty and the outer sheet of the exhaust pot has already said goodbye over two years ago and the pot makes inside rusting noises. Replacement is therefore urgently necessary! I had to change the Simmering of the circuit group even at about 80000km due to oil loss. The hose of the valve cover ventilation (I believe?!) has been replaced by a plastic petrol hose by me now because I already three times the original hoses had installed, with the result that they were porous at the latest after one to one and a half years and have simply dissolved. I do not want to speak of the rust approaches on the chassis at all! If I would not constantly exchange any parts to keep everything in fire I would already not get a pickerl for the Panda. And that at the age. What else to say big?! I hope your pandas are slightly less susceptible than m one ! Greetings to all here in the forum – the passenger car !
