Anybody adjusted their EPS sensor??

[olliejones8]

Hi guys, my car is heavy turning right and light turning left and pulls to the left so apparently the EPS has gone. I heard somewhere you can adjust the EPS sensor that is behind the dash.

So the questions.

1. Does this work?
2. how hard is it to remove the dash

cheers

A bit beyond me too, but i'd consider tracking first. Does it happen all the time, if not are you on standard (vauxhall offset) wheels.

[olliejones8]

hello mate, yeah happens all the time. At low speeds its worse. Im on Vaux alloys and lowered 40mm.

after doing a little reserch i found out that its your powersteering unit
a common fault on them aparntly but since mine didnt have Electric power steering or even Hydraulic powersteering i never knew about it!

Corsa B and C fitted with EPS
Vauxhall Corsa B and C are now fitted with an eps system suffering failure.
Symptoms:

* Steering is light in one direction and heavy on other. Vehicle can pull to one side.

Resolution:

* Replace Electric Power Steering Unit

About £200 depending where you look.

Thats £175 if you send your broken one back to them.

Hope this helps pal!

hello mate, yeah cheers for that i thought it might have been the EPS unit iv been keeping my eye out for one, but i dont know how much of a job it is to remove/fit, and if i could do it myself

i also found this:

tells you how to adjust the torque sensor in case of eps faliure, id sugest it as a temporary fix mind and get the unit replaced

[olliejones8]

yeah, i think to adjust it you need to remove the dash, which from what iv heard is a pain in the Arse

[Octane2097]

most i ever removed was the MFD and that was a pig to do!
