Vauxhall Astra 1998 on Electric Hydraulic Power Steering (EHPS)Pump failing

Vauxhall Astra, 98 on, suffering power steering failure from electro hydraulic TRW pump failure. Also some units failing for leaking hydraulic fluid.

Remanufactured units on the shelf and available next day.

We can remanufacture all types of electric power steering systems- electric hydraulic power steering (EHPS) pumps, electric power steering (EPS) columns and electric power steering (EPS) racks.
