EPS problem on Vauxhall Meriva
For the last year we have had an intermittent fault with the EPS system meaning we lose our power steering. Normally switching engine off fixes the problem. On one occasion it didn't - called out the AA who disconnected something under the steering wheel and then reconnected and it fixed it. He said something like it just needed a reboot. The eps is now failing more often. What do you think the problem is. Is it a loose connection. Seems odd that sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. The problem seems to happen more in cold weather?
