    The controller turns out to be rather ok, at the output of the engine gives voltage, but you do not feel it on the steering wheel, the option of the damaged engine comes back, on Saturday I will go to it and check it myself.

    The engine has a manufacturing defect. Look for a Mitsubishi Colt, preferably from an Englishman with low mileage. It is the same power steering. Yes, it will fail in a while.

    What's raining there? In general, now you have to jerk the steering wheel hard to activate.

    I found an advertisement on the Allegro that a certain company regenerates the engine and controller for PLN 1400 and gives a lifetime warranty, I wonder if they rewind or display some other engine and possibly some mechanical reduction that would fit.

    Sure BBA R .... There are a lot of drivers for PLN 50. There is a big problem with dismantling the engine. The screw is connected hot. The rotor is a total failure.

    The driver is ok because I put the second and the same, and as I wrote earlier, after the intervention of other mechanics who allegedly dismantled the engine and replaced the computer, the car ran about 3 months.

    Can the torque sensor itself be repaired / replaced in this support? The sensor does not work and the assistance is also turned off.

    Former computer diagnosis? If you have a donor, sensor replacement is not troublesome. Calibration is important.
