Title: Steering column FD 2009/2010: eps light keep coming on and heavy steering
Post by: Lizzie1111 on April 28, 2022, 21:13:56

Hi all, I have an issue with my eps light, keep coming on and heavy steering. when it does I’ve done diagnostics, and it’s saying there is a problem with the steering column, I was wondering, if I purchase a steering column, does it need coding to my car? I have Hyundai i30 59 plate thanks 😊

Hi, Lizzie. I have the same model but have not seen that behaviour. I hate to see a question go unanswered so let's make some noise with an extra post and see who bites. :goodjob:
