Hey there! I encountered a problem with my car, a 2016 Model S 90D with around 140,000 miles (approximately 226,000 km) on the odometer, during a trip to Denmark; the steering suddenly became extremely difficult to manage. After consulting with Tesla, it was discovered that a leak from a four-way valve had caused significant damage by corroding electrical components, particularly affecting the connection to the EPAS system, as well as the steering rod and wiring harness. Tesla has already replaced both the four-way and three-way valves to prevent further leakage. They also mentioned that cleaning the corrosion could potentially resolve the issue. However, their standard procedure involves replacing the damaged components, which could end up being quite expensive. They advised me to look for an alternative workshop capable of cleaning the affected electrical components as a more cost-effective solution. I'm reaching out to see if you or the comments could offer any insights or suggestions on how to approach this problem. Do you think this is something feasible, and do you have any thoughts on how it could be done?
