Removing and installing (replacing) electric
steering gear (EPS)
Important!
Steering gear:
Check connection of steering gear for corrosion, clean
contacts if necessary. The steering gear must be replaced if
the corrosion is too far advanced.
Connecting cable:
In the event of moisture/corrosion inside the two plug
connections, check the insulation of the connecting cable. If
the insulation reveals any noticeable/striking features, it will be
necessary to replace the part. Otherwise it will be sufficient to
replace the contacts or plug housing.

printout, even where there is no fault memory entry, with the
defective part.
