The missus has just driven our K12 from Glasgow back to London. Just as she reached our road the power steering went and a PS warning light showed on the dash. Obviously I'll have to take the car to the local garage, any ideas on what the problem might be and what sort of garage bill to expect?

Power steering gone

Hi huttojb. Am London based. The fault happened while the missus was driving back home to London after a visit to Glasgow, she had been driving for about 10 hours. I used the car today - the PS warning light came on when I turned the ignition key halfway, then disappeared as I turned it all the way to start the engine. Power steering worked fine. The car's booked in at a local garage for it's annual service and MOt test on Friday. I've mentioned the fault to the guys at the garage who said something about it possibly being a temporary glitch that has righted itself, I've asked them to check it for me.
Hi. You posted this link to my thread about PS problem with K12. Just called them, FYI they no longer supply those parts which come out of China. They said I need to keep looking for another motor factor, so if you know of anyone else....
That link was my recent Sept 2019 search summation of MSC K12 EPS threads.
Try searching MSC for your K12 specific EPS issues & google.
Additionally contact huttojb whom may be able to fault find & improvise a viable cost efficient solution?

Good luck.

Hi Guys Chris here i am new to the forum, my daughters K12 developed the same fault have not been able to clear it remove batery leads overnight still no luck so i think its tanked, if i get a second hand unit can i just swop them out as i have read some threads re needing it coded to ecu and re calibrated, i can do the Mech work ok but have no idea re recoding or calibrating, and advice would be appreciated
Cheers Mate appreciate the help, is there anything I need to watch out for when removing the steering column, I am also going to try and contact ECU.com to see if they will refurb my unit rather than put in a second hand one as I could end up with the same problem next week or next month
