HI. Today i have just successfully replaced my steering sensor in situ on my 2005 panda. I was getting the vibrations though the wheel and eventually the EPS fails and the warning light is displayed. Car is still drivable and i unplugged the sensor for a while and albeit heavy the car is drivable
After a good bit of research i bought the replacement sensor (with a GREEN sheath) and 6 wires in an 8 hole plug from Portugal for £60. from a company called INOVAUTO.COM.
I have taken loads of pictures showing how i did the swap and the only thing i had to make was a huge pair of circlip pliers, so out with the welder and an old pipe wrench and two old 2.5mm Allen keys to fabricate this.
The new sensor comes LOCKED at the Straight ahead position. So provided the steering wheel shaft remains in this position, everything falls into place with keyways inline. then remove the wire lock.
After putting the new sensor in, and replacing everything, the steering eps light remains off, and electrical alignment has not needed any programming via the service port.
New to this forum so need some guidence where to share my pictures.
Mike
