Fiat Ulysse Power Steering Issues – Pumps and Racks
Has your Fiat Ulysse been suffering from leaking oil? Or is it whining? If you find that this is the case, it could be due to a failed Power Steering Pump or Power Steering Rack.
The Fiat Ulysse is known to use a conventional hydraulic power steering system. This consists of a Power Steering Rack, a Power Steering Pump and high pressure & low pressure hydraulic pipes which connect them together. The system is linked with a Steering column (shaft) which is what the steering wheel is fixed to at the user-end.
Below you will find a list of the most common problems that have been associated with the Fiat Ulysse Power Steering Rack & Pump:
Common Fiat Ulysse Power Steering Pump Failures
- Leaking / Loss of Oil
- Loss of Power (When Idling)
- Loss of Power (When Idling & Whilst Revving)
- Whining
- Heavy Steering (Either Way)
Common Fiat Ulysse Power Steering Rack Failures
- Leaking / Loss of Oil
- Loss of Power (When Idling & Whilst Revving)
- Heavy Steering (Either way)
- Heavy Steering (One-Way)
- Knocking From Steering
- Excessive Play in Steering Wheel
- Excessive Play in Track-Rod Arms
As you can see from the above list, some of the problems can occur in both a Power Steering Rack and a Power Steering Pump fault – for example having Loss of Power (When Idling & Whilst Revving), therefore it is always recommended that you get a further diagnosis before replacing any of the power steering parts.
