EPAS Issue

[Mike]

My EPAS has thrown a fit :( i have power steering when i turn left, but not when i turn right :(

It makes for an erm, interesting drive to say the least lol lol

Anyone got any ideas?

just fit the rack from the nova lol

[Mike]

Its not the rack, its an electric coloumn Nick.

ooo sounds expensive. having said that im sure ive got a brand new column in the shed

[Mike]

I only paid £200 for a complete S reg Corsa its fitted too! Dont really want to buy a new column :(

Ive heard it could be the column bearing tho (£7.50)

[burgo]

i dont see how a bearing would affect it. sounds more to me as if a sensor has gone defunk and thats its not sencing you turning right

[Mike]

@rse, as it all runs off the columns ECU, so that could be funked :(

I believe this is a common EPAS problem. There was a company called 'Power Steering Services' in London who could repair them.

I have a mate who's a Vauxhall main dealer mechanic, I will ask him about it when I see him tomorrow.

Failing that most scrapyards I've dealt with will sell you a complete column for around £75.

You Sir, are a saint! + Rep for you :thumb:

I genuinely didnt know it was a common issue with the. So i take it it is the coloumn at fault judging by your reply?
