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.

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!

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