Seem to still have an issue where as my steering gets so haevy [usualy when trying to park] that its like the car has stalled!!!

 

Replaced solinoid on rack drain flushed system twice looked threw search and there is a mention of a ecu for steering ....so thought i would ask:tt2:

 

Dave

thats a no then lol

do a search sure this has be talked about before.

Dave just a thought, it may be a speed fault on the sensor circut and the car thinks its doing 160mpm so giving hard steering.

Whats the harm in trying a different ECU? It'll be an easy 10minute job and the cost of one from a breaker will be peanuts.

Give it a whirl if you think it might solve the problem, the worst you'll loose is £10/15.

 

Personally though, I think its unlikely to solve your problem. Is your speedo working correctly?? because this is where the PAS ecu gets its signal from NOT directly from the speed sensor.

Hi Allan would you know how to check this out for faults??

Speedo is spot on matey

Then swap the ECU over, give it a try.
