Thank you to SAE Autocare in Westcliff-on-Sea, for their in-depth technical expertise on this fault. Please check them out at www.saeautocare.co.uk.
Thank you to TheBestZabielski for rapidly supplying a quality product and getting me up and running quickly. This pump also comes with a 2 Year unlimited mileage warranty. Please check them out here: - www.ebay.co.uk/str/worldofreg... or swiatregeneracji.pl/gb/
Also in this video, I discuss and show the differences with this type of power steering pump; where some are configured as Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), have a Level Sensor and/or Steering Angle Sensor.
I also swap over the reservoir bottle as the replacement unit was damaged in the post.
Plus, you shouldn't need a Tech II tool to reset the ECU after replacement as this should clear after a few starts.

Great work! We are proud to supply the power steering pump for you :)
Thank you for all your help on this too. 👍
Just thought I'd post again. Amazing work you guys do, your pump is still doing a great job.
Just an update, the pump is still in and working well, your refurbs are top notch 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thanks for this video and information... it really helped me.
You're welcome, glad it helped you 👍
Just a tip for unclipping the side part of the bumper for some other vectras that can’t be popped off the clip.
The bumper clips on to the wing bracket which slides sideways left to right. When screwed in from the wheel arch liner, the screw pulls and drags the bracket inwards to lock the bumper via the it’s brackets. So to unclip the bumper after removing the screw just stick your screwdriver in the screw hole as far as you can and this sliders the bracket out from the bumper brackets and releases the bumper :)
That's a really cool point to note, I will try this next time the bonnet is off (which will probably be soon).
@@Dev255Thanks for the reply mate. Let me know if it works for you? I think your Vectra is of the other type which doesn’t have a sliding bracket but I could be wrong. Thought I’d leave this comment just for those with a sliding bracket that struggle to unclip it :)
Will do@@michaelmyersfan1001
hello, Excellent video! do you remember how many liters of fluid it needs? thanks!
Hi, Thank you, I hope it helps you fix yours. I used around 500ml just to replace the Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering (EHPS) pump on my Vectra (which is still operating as new 😀👍), although if you are replacing the hole system (including steering rack) then you will need 905 ml in total. If you have the Compact EHPS (looks like a plastic milk bottle) it only has 725ml. For the sake of an extra £10 pounds it may be best to purchase a couple of 1 Litre products in my opinion if you are replacing the rack (you could be left stranded if you lose some pouring it in). The product you require is febi 06161 (Other codes for this fluid = 19 40 715 (93 160 548)). Here is a link to the product if you can't find it: www.autodoc.co.uk/febi-bilstein/1869157?gshp=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw-af6BRC5ARIsAALPIlV74OczQgunCRp54G2KPfYPbw5qb3TXV26zPrYqx0cNAK62pNBrP7oaAmBjEALw_wcB
Good luck with yours.
Hey thanks for the video, is it the same for a 2002 vectra c? It sounds the same. And when it is, how much do I need to change the steering fluid?
Hi, no problem. It should be the same type of pump and use the same fluid, it's always best to check with the main dealer for your exact car spec (it shouldn't cost anything to check with them first). I used around 500ml of fluid (febi 06161) to change just the Power Steering Pump, although you would need more if draining the rack and associated pipes too. It's also worth taking the bumper off and looking at how yours is configured, whether you have 2,3 or 4 connections as mentioned in the video and get the same pump configuration, otherwise you may get the same fault light to appear on the dash. I hope that helps, and good luck with yours. Oh and mine has just passed its MOT today with no advisories, so still going strong.
@@Dev255 thanks for the quick response. The pump isn't broken, i wanted some info because idk if the fluid has ever been changed before. Thanks for all the information. It's my first car. And it's the old one of my parents, so I wanted to check some stuff. Is there anything else that I certainly need to check?
HI Max, you shouldn't need to change the fluid in the steering as it would normally last the life of the car, its worth checking all the fluid levels on the car though. These are pretty reliable cars, where they were heavily used as taxis and police cars in the past, plus this helps to reduce the parts cost as they are common. I would check all the safety things first, a common problem is the rear brake caliper pins sticking so one brake pad would wear quicker than the other. To be honest if it's your first car, I would take it for a full pre-MOT check at a local garage that will let you watch, as you will see how they do it too (kind of like a cheep lesson). :-)
@@Dev255 thanks for all the tips. You've given me all the info I wanted. Thanks 😊
Hi
I have a Vectra 2002 1.8 and i habe problem with sensor
the servo works
do i have to replace the whole pump?
Thanks
Thanks a lot for this video, in the past 3 years I have changed the steering wheel pump 3 times, any reason for that or it's manufacturer mistake?
Hi, good question; the pump I replaced in this video is still working well. Have you considered voltage drops in the system? As this could indicate a fault with power steering pumps as they need greater than 13V to run correctly (alternator working ok and battery ok). Other than that, is the steering rack ok, or letting in mosture/leaking, contaminating the hydraulic fluid?
@@Dev255 well indeed I have some electronic issues, but no oil leaks in the front steering rack, might be this issue, unfortunately I love this car but I can't fix-it also 😂😂
Thanks a lot
@@yousefali3950 No dramas, I love my car too, they are getting more rare by the day. I've had mine for nearly 10 years. Hope you get yours sorted. Feel free to ask other questions, I've done a fair amount of work to my car, including an engine rebuild at home
I have a vectra c, the steering wheel light is on but at the same time the odometer is not working. if luck doesn't light up the damage to the steering wheel also clears the odometer. what could it be? as soon as I put the steering wheel forward it is heavy for 5 seconds.
What about steering wheel calibration? Or connect steering wheel to electric pump? If it still shows eps error?
Hi, I carried out a one for one swap on my Vectra with the steering aligned before and laser checked afterwards. Unfortunately I'm not sure on the other questions, sorry, The Best Zabielski may be able to answer these for you, they were very helpfull to me.
a tip, instead och taking the entire front off. Just take off the wheel beind the pump and losen the palstic part and fold back.
Hi, I totally agree, although the bumper comes of very easily and I needed to set the camera up for a clear view.
Do they require coding? Why does the non esp pump need a steering angle sensor?
🤔 might try doing mine, VXR Vectra 2007.
Good luck; mine is still in and working well after 3 Years. Feel free to ask questions if you wish or speak to The Best Zabielski. They are very helpful and knowledgable.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Mine pump also make this sounds, i was thinking it was broke, coz when i buy mine opel vectra 3 years ago, i not hear any sounds from the powersteeringpump. But you pump also make sounds when you turn your steeringwheel left and right.
They do make a fair bit of sound that sounds more laboured (struggling) the closer you get to left and right extremes, where you can hear the motor speed slow down; this is normal, although if it's loud enough to hear significantly while sitting in the car with the windows shut it may be on the way out. Plus, if you feel the steering alternating between light and heavy when steering at low speeds/stopped (less work required when driving), then this could be another indication. Hope that helps
@@Dev255
Then the steeringpump is on the way out, coz i hear the pump inside the cabin if i waiting and put mine steringwheel left and right. But if i standing outside i not hear the pump only if i sitting inside.
@@next3576 Can you get anyone else to steer to the extremes while you are outside? Also, has the steering gone heavy whilst driving? It's hard to tell without being near the car, it may be worth talking to a garage just for a second opinion as loosing power steering can be dangerous, especially with todays heavy cars. Another thing to check is the fluid level, make sure you are not losing any (easier with bumper off).
@@Dev255
Mine steering feels the same, not really heavy but absolute not light. I fill up one time and now its to much and its look the fluid is bubbling inside i only screw the 3screws by the wheel so i can look how much inside.
@@next3576 if the fluid is bubbling then you have air in the system, a top up to max level and a bleed of the system should work, take a look at the end of my video, I run through the bleeding steps (basically the system auto bleeds with left to right lock). If that doesn't work you may have a leak somewhere. Power steering fluid is also hydroscopic, meaning that it absorbs water, can you be sure the fluid is good/water getting in, could be causing your issue. I'd recommend a full fluid change after looking for leaks
Hi, my name is Marian, I'm from Romania, please tell me if Opel Vectra C rusts with time underneath or not ?! Thanks!
Hi, sorry for the late reply, I thought I'd answered you. Yes both subframes and some components rust over time, although the body of the car is very resistive to rust, I believe these Vectra C's are fully galvanised.
@@Dev255 thank you.
Hi, did you read what the error code was before hand?
Hi Kyle, very good question, unfortunately I can't remember the code, this would be hard to mimic now as the old unit was thrown away. I remember the fault light doesn't come for a good 30 seconds, where I could drive to the end of my road (100 yards) before the error appeared. I hope that helps
Excelente vídeo. De dónde obtiene la información del torque (7 Nm) de las tuercas que aparece en el minuto: 20:39? Saludos desde Mexico.
Hola Alexis, los ajustes de torque provienen del software Vauxhall / Opal TIS (Servicio de información técnica) en la Unidad de suministro electrohidráulico. Espero que esto ayude. Saludos desde el reino unido
Original Message: Excellent video. Where do you get the torque information (7 Nm) for the nuts that appears in the minute: 20:39? Greetings from Mexico
Reply: Hi Alexis, the torque settings are from the Vauxhall/Opal TIS software (Technical Information Service) under Electro-hydraulic Supply Unit. I hope this helps. Greetings from the UK
@@Dev255 Muchas muchas gracias. Pude obtener el programa y obtener la información del par de apriete de otros componentes. Es muy dificil conseguir la informacion de estos autos aquí en México y más aún si el motor es V6 3.2. Saludos.
@@alexislc90 Eres más que bienvenido, me alegro de que te haya ayudado
Original Message: Thank you very very much. I was able to get the program and get the torque information for other components. It is very difficult to get the information on these cars here in Mexico and even more so if the engine is V6 3.2. Greetings
Reply: You are more than welcome. I'm glad it helped
I have Opel Vectra 2.2 dti and when the car is outside and its cold the steering whell is wery hard to turn it. After 3-5 killometters of driving when car is warmer the situation improves and steering whell
it becomes softer to turn. What solution can be here , must replacing pump? New Oil? Thnx.
Hi, take a listen to the front right (off side) of the vehicle when stationary to listen to the pump when the engine is running, you should be able to move the steering wheel and hear the pump doing more work (may need a friend to help). If it is loud (well above the engine noise) you may have a faulty pump, if it's not operating the fuse may have gone or, again, faulty pump. The fuse is in its own black small enclosure at the back of the battery compartment, I believe it's a 100A fuse. Hope that helps
@@Dev255 I changed the pump, but problem is the same, but now i have the same light as your video Steering wheel with exclamation mark! I was at the mechanic and we connected the tester and it showed error code C1532-05 - Steering angle sensor open circuit or high voltage?! Maby do you know where is this sensor located? Maby its on Steering column??
@@mikimiki4389 Hi, it sounds like the pump that has now been fitted is looking for a steering angle sensor, where there may not be one on your version of steering. I believe there are 3 different types of power steering pump, one has a level sensor wire going to the lid of the bottle, one has a blanking plug fitted in place of the right connector and the other is connected to a steering angle sensor. If the wrong type gets fitted you may well get different symptoms and different fault codes. It may be worth you talking to a power steering reconditioning company to find out what you need. I found swiatregeneracji.pl/gb/ the best people to get hold of for Vauxhall power steering pump, they have a lot of knowledge and we're really helpful to me. The pump they supplied for my car in this video is still in and working well. I hope this helps. Feel free to ask further questions if needed
Hello friend ,I have a situation with my vectra c facelift .when I turn left or right the steering its harder and don't come back to initial position.Sometimes the problem dissappear for 1-2 day and reappear .I check the system Ehps with Opcom all the live data its good also my charger make 14.2 v .Any idea ?
Mine is d the same fella. Crap! Been to 2 garages but no success.
Hi, sorry for the late reply, we are moving home and work has been hectic. It sounds like the motor is on it's way out within the EHPS unit, a refurbished one would probably be your best option, where mine from this video is still in and working well. Please let me know if yours is now fixed, or you need further info.
Hi, did you manage to get yours sorted also?
@Dev255 Yes friend VECTRA C STEERING COLUMN UNIVERSAL JOINT was at me !
@@mitreaion19 Ah ok, thank you for the update, I hope it didn't cost you too much.
when tighting a main nut, 100Nm + 90 degrees + 15 degrees?
Hi, this is typically done on stretch bolts that must be replaced when taken off. Tighten to 100Nm, then turn 90º; I usually wait a few minutes to settle, then turn 15º. Ensure all the components are at the same temperature as you could over or under-tighten. I hope that is what you were asking.
Hi mate
One question did you need any connecting with the diagnostic tool to configure the pump with the "car"
Hi, good question, that was my initial thought too, although The Best Zabielski (pinned comment) sourced the correct pump for me to install and everything went in without setting up with the CAN system via OBDII. I thought it had to be setup with the Vauxhall Tech II system, but everything just went in and worked. If you get stuck or have more technical questions here is a link to their website: swiatregeneracji.pl/gb/content/4-about-us, you should be able to drop them an email, they were very helpful to me prior to my order and after sales. I hope that helps
@@Dev255 I have had problem with steering rack I've changed for the new but I have still the issue I've changed the pump and that pump behave similar I went to the garage as my OPcom system need Security Code but unfortunately I doesn't have that, who is thinking about that during buying the car 🤦♂️ and now I need to take that from somewhere
The guys said after diagnostic that pump is definitely faulty and they need the code from the "part" to configure the part with the car
Maybe I think wrongly but I think guys need the security code for my car not the part itself
That's why I'm trying to get some confirmation of the coding the pump with the car is something that is required
@@BMohaupt Hi, I believe they are talking about the model number of your original part to ensure that you have the correct part. I believe the power steering pump is blanked when reconditioned or blank when new so that it automatically pairs with the car when first connected; this was certainly the case with my pump. If you have the old pump could you pass that to the garage for them to retrieve data if required? Other than that it may be a case of sending the good pump off to have blanked. I'm only speculating the same as you, I would say it would be easier to send an email to The Best Zabielski for advice/way forward as they deal with these pumps on a daily basis. I hope that helps. Please feel free to comment back anytime though, I try and help where I can and would love to know when you get it fixed or if I can help further.
