Been selling these on e-bay for a while now thought i'd offer them up here in case there is any interest. This is a complete modified electric power steering kit to fit a Volkswagen T-25 van. It uses a Vauxhall Corsa C Epas column and combines it with an original t25 column. The kit includes the modified column with matching ECU, an adjustable speed signal controller, a full wiring kit including terminals, heat shrink, wire and a 50 Amp fuse with holder. All my kits come with the correct terminals installed on new wire for the Blue power plug, unlike a lot of other kits that just supply standard large yellow crimp terminals that work loose after a while.  This column bolts in using the original 4 mounting holes (new allen bolts supplied for lower mount as space is limited for getting a socket in) There are then only 6 wires to connect and you need to mount the ecu and adjuster knob. It is as easy as that to have power steering in you van, just a couple of hours work. The column accepts the original switch gear, ignition barrel, and steering wheel. Plus the steering lock and horn still work as they did. The cowling fits back on but requires a little trimming to the lower right to go around the motor  The lower link has been modified to connect to the original steering joint.  All of the corsa columns I sell have been checked and the torque sensors adjusted if required. These are built from your exchange units only now as supply of used columns has dried up. Price is £300 delivered by courier or £280 collected from Harrogate North Yorkshire. Postage price is to UK Mainland excluding Highlands and Islands, please contact me for prices to these places. I will not ship out of the UK |

I will be trying my kits in a left hand drive T25 in a couple of weeks and if it doesn't fit i will be making one that does, then LHD kits will be available shortly after that. I can post to Spain but would have to check the cost.

How do you modify the top bit of the column to take the t25 steering wheel? Looks like the bottom is modded t25 low bit welded to corsa u/j?

How do you modify the top bit of the column to take the t25 steering wheel? Looks like the bottom is modded t25 low bit welded to corsa u/j? Correct lower is lathe modified t25 lower link welded into a modified U/J. Upper is a similar idea with cut down and lathed upper piece from t25 slipped inside a lathed piece of Corsa upper column then welded before steering lock outer is refitted. That way you keep the steering wheel, switch gear and everything stock at the top of the column. |

Hi Dave, I have looked on your website with great interest with view to buy one of these kits. Unfortunately the link to contact you didn't appear to do anything. Anyhow, with regards to price and I right in thinking it would be £230 delivered with a column exchange? And if so do you post after you receive the column or before? Look forward to your reply (I will also send a PM on here)

I will also buy your old steering column from you for £40 if you want, so i can make up more kits. Postage price is to UK Mainland excluding Highlands and Islands, please contact me for prices to these places. I will not ship out of the UK Hi David, tried to email you direct but I think you might have missed it so: I was thinking of developing a trim system for the EPAS of my Megane II Dci in order to assist the driving as slight camber variations of the road can produce an undesired tendency for the vehicle to pull either sides, especially when driving on the continent with opposite camber. Then I thought perhaps they are already available and I'm just unaware of it. Is this something that can be purchased rather than starting from scratch and programming a microcontroler to do the job ? I really don't see (correct me if I'm wrong) why they haven't yet been introduced, after all we're able to trim our headlamps, trim the hight of the steering wheel and the position of the driving seat, why not the "null position" (or centre if you will) of the power steering ? Any aircraft has trim facilities in all three axes ... we only need one, the yow. . . .  Effectively all that we need is a minimal increase in torque in either direction according to the amount of natural road pull. Would you kindly inform me if such devise is in existence or can be made before I pursue the task independently ? Many Thanks Kind Regards Mauro Andreini |

I have never come across a Trim adjustment for any of the epas columns, and have not played with any of them apart from the vauxhall version.
I'm not even sure you could do what you are talking about as there isn't a centre to the column as such. The column will stay where it is at any rotation angle if the car isn't moving. Its only the castor of the front end when moving that pulls the steering straight again.
Also i must say i do not really see the need for it. If the suspension is set correctly there shouldn't be any pull with camber on the road.

Hello Mantasport, I wonder if you would be able to help me ? I have bought one of these Power steering conversions from ebay, not from yourself though, that I had to weld up myself. Unfortunately this has not gone well and I am left with too much shaft poking out the top of the column and cant get the top bits on. Would you be able to let me know the correct dimensions so I can rectify the issue. I need to know the length of the following… Distance from end of motor/gearbox housing to end of inner column. Distance from end of motor/gearbox housing to end of outer column. I now wish I had bought one that was already modified as have wasted a couple days now  Thanks in advance. Glennada... |

Hi.
Would you be able to make a column for a J car? I could supply you a complete column if needed, which would help with bracket mounts positioning etc.
I'll wait for a PM from you..
Cheers

Distance from end of motor/gearbox housing to end of outer column. I now wish I had bought one that was already modified as have wasted a couple days now Thanks in advance. Glennada... The distance from housing to end of inner column is not a fixed measurement as such.
The new upper inner piece (t25 upper into corsa c piece that you welded together) fits onto a spline on the input shaft of the column, so it can actually be slid up/down to get the perfect position. The only critical bits are that the inner piece goes low enough in relation to the outer so the original ignition lock/upper bearing/ switchgear housing fits and everything is pulled up tight with the wheel on.
Biggest critical part on the new upper piece is the distance from the end of threads to the flange seat where the rubber shim sits. That NEEDS to match the original 96mm so when the steering wheel is on the upper bearing is tight between the rubber shim and plastic tube.
I do not have a measurement of the housing to upper outer to hand, but from memory its around 165-170mm on my versions. BUT this could be different depending on the lower bracket you are using. Best way to check that would be to measure the mounting holes on the van. Then compare that to the upper to lower brackets on what you have so far.
Hope that helps you a bit.
