Opel Meriva A power steering – problems, symptoms and solutions

The Opel Meriva A (model years 2003–2010) is known for recurring problems with the electric power steering (EPS). Especially at higher mileages the power steering can suddenly become heavy or even fail completely. This issue often occurs at low speeds, such as when parking or maneuvering, and can cause an unsafe steering feel.

When the power steering of the Opel Meriva A fails, the following complaints may occur:

• Steering becomes heavy or uneven
• Power steering temporarily or completely fails
• EPS warning light remains on the dashboard
• Creaking, popping or thumping noise when steering
• Play in the steering wheel or vibrations
• Faults mainly at low speed

In many cases the cause lies in the EPS steering column. Wear of internal components such as the torque sensor, steering angle sensor or the electric motor occurs regularly. In addition, voltage problems, poor grounding points or software errors in the EPS module can cause malfunctions.

A common misconception is that the entire steering column must be replaced. In practice, a rebuild of the Opel Meriva A power steering is often sufficient. Defective parts are replaced and tested, resulting in a reliable and durable solution at lower cost than replacement.

Solution:

Rebuild of the EPS steering column or order a refurbished steering column from the Power Steering Specialist.

Power steering problems on the Opel Meriva A are annoying but in most cases can be remedied. With proper diagnosis and professional refurbishment the car will drive safely and comfortably again, without recurring faults.
