Twizy power steering fault

My 2012 electric Twizy's power steering is vibrating and shaking. Handling is spongy, and there's an error message. It's hard to steer, like the power steering is failing. I checked what I could, but without proper tools, I am limited. Any ideas? It has 152632 km on the clock.

I had a similar issue with my old Citroen C3; it was a defective connection. Like a loose wire in a lamp – sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Hopefully, it's the same for you.

Could you elaborate on the 'defective connection'? Was it a specific cable or plug connection related to the steering system, or something else?

In my case, it was the plug connection to the power steering unit, causing intermittent power loss. I tightened it, but it only solved the problem for a few days. I'd advise having someone take a look. With steering, I wouldn't risk too much.

Thanks for the advice! I took my Twizy to a workshop. A cable or plug connection was indeed defective. They replaced the cable for 95€. Thanks again!
