As far as I know there is NO reservoir as the power steering is controled by electrical pump linked into the steering rack. You access it by taking the cowling off under the steering column and dropping the fuse cover to reveal the electrical pump
I think the Punto has electric power steering, so no fluid.
fiat punto's dont have steering fluid. they have electric motors instead.
it is on the steering column below the steering wheel
on the steering column beneath steering wheel
Unfortunately the power steering unit is on the way out.
This means you have a fault with your power steering. You should contact the garage as the power steering may fail.
Failure in the power steering system...
fuse for power steering on fiat punto if your looking for the fuse under the bonnet big black box on the right open up the box and you will see the big blue fuse in the middle of the top row .
To refill the power steering fluid in a car, one must look under the hood. There is a yellow cap that says Power Steering Fluid only, this is where a person refills the fluid.
i had two fiat punto in my life, both of then from 1998. one of then ad power steering but the other didnt. so for your fiat 1997, some of then has and some dont..i think there are 1997 puntos with power steering
It means theres a fault with the electronic power steering. DO NOT ignore as it can fail at any moment leaving your car with no steering!!!
