Fiat Panda 1.1 187A1.000 2006 - Buzz from steering column - Fixed #

Posted by Peter Warman on April 17, 2013, 8:51 am

Year of Manufacture *: 2006
( Optional ) Engine Code or CC: 187A1.00

Hi Lads

Away from tonight for a few days so trying clear the workshop

Good customer phoned in a panic this morning with a steering fault, she has just dropped it off

You only have to put slight pressure on the steering wheel and you get a loud buzz from the column, not pulled any covers off but I assume its the motor for the steering, can anyone enlighten me if they have had it before, just need to give her a bit of info if I can

Many thanks

Peter

OK this is now back in the workshop and requires a new motor (steering unit)

I am about to take the unit off, can anyone recommend a company for repair?

Contacted BBA and £270.00 to repair unit (no exchange unit available)

Delphi 26096580 17A (motor)

Thanks

Peter

Hi Peter

I did one a couple of years ago and for that Panda the 2 parts were available separately. The ECU separates from the column. That reduced the parts cost considerably.

It may not be possible on yours but worth investigating.

Hi All

OK took the plunge with this one and sent the steering unit to BBA last Thursday via UPS (they collect), arrived back yesterday via UPS and fitted this morning and all working perfectly

Repair at BBA was £270.00 and £11.00 each way by UPS. Job total including vat was £547.00

Labour was just over an hour out and same back in, not a bad job to do
