Vauxhall Agila Electric Power Steering Column Issues
The Electric Power Steering Column is known to be a very common failing part on the Vauxhall Agila. The electric steering column replaces the earlier conventional hydraulic power steering system found fitted to earlier models. By eliminating the need to have a pump, its design allowed an increase in fuel economy by reducing the bulk and size of the whole unit, while improving the handling and steering refinement. However, this expensive part is a very common failure and they all at some point or another end up failing, requiring replacement or repair.
Vauxhall Agila Electric Steering Column – Common Faults
Some of the most common issues that will indicate the failure of the Electric Steering Column care listed below:
1. Heavy steering in both directions
2. Intermittent loss of steering.
3. Steering starts to pull to one side (Self steer).
4. Steering vibrates when turning.
5. Total loss of power steering.
6. Power steering light illuminated on the dash
If you find any of the above faults with your Vauxhall Agila, it will more than likely mean that your electric steering column is damaged or faulty. If the power steering column completely fails, then going to a main dealer for a replacement could cost you from £800 + VAT (plus labour + coding), and will more than likely only come with a 12 month warranty. You could also buy a used second hand unit, but most of the time, due to the lack of information regarding the miles done on the previous vehicle or how well it was maintained, this could also lead to a complete failure at some point.
