Nothing apart from when you first start it up,you have to wait a couple of seconds before the power steering comes on. fwn

This is because the system goes through a Power Up Test Phase - where in checks all functionality / safety req' before it goes into Normal Operation.

im betting you work for nissan, or are very bored.
 
I think - my last post was removed. If I have upset someone - SORRY!!!

If anyone hears about any Steering fault's or upsets could they let me know.

Don't work at Nissan - just a interest of mine.
 
whats with all the questions? have you got your car in a dealer and you havent got any warranty left so you want nissan to pay?

heres a little reminder for you, your warranty is for 60,000 miles or 3 years no more no less, if your cars gone out of warranty tough on you imo

easy...... Sorry if the questions bothered you - just want as much info about the problem that you have.

I've got a Rover 25 - enough said!!!!!!!

Any information will be great - i.e. was it lost of assist, did it go back to dealer, did the new unit fail in the same conditions, was it on ign on or driving. etc....
 
i just fix them ie replace them, but the one that was ordered after i fitted it, it was rough on the bearings every now and again,

most of the time its just the motors that burn out, or the bearings go in the column

either way its a new steering column as you cant get parts seperate

and if the car was in the warranty period the work is done under warranty.

there isnt a common problem its just the odd few that go

when ever the motor burns out its when driving along, cause the faster your driving the heavier the steering gets and when your parking etc you have very light steering

Very rare the "motor burns out"

Also it's very unusal that the steering trips out at speed - normally when you first ign on.

What do you mean :

it was rough on the bearings every now and again,

Could you re-phase this as I don't know what your asking.

I posted a post on here to ask peoples thoughts about the K12 steering and if anyone has any failures and what was the failures? Also peoples general opinion about the K12 Steering?

i thought you was asking if i wanted to know what the problems k12 steering has....you know somthing we dont but you wont say what it is
 
what i mean by the bearings being rough, when you turn to full lock either side it would go rough and tight then smooth and free this was when the vehicle wasnt moving

Because you've appeared from nowhere asking a very ambiguous but oddly precise question about a car that you dont even own, It just strikes me as curious at the least, and probably to the other members as well. It would be less suspicious if you would just tell everyone what all the guile is about.

It's abit difficult to say anything cos this is not official, I could get in to trouble.

I'm not trying to put people un-easy, just trying to find as much information about the EPAS system on the Micra.

and you f***ed up some steering racks and hoping they havent got fitted yet.........hahahaha
 
no - just interested what peoples opinion is about the steering. If there was a problem I'm sure Nissan will do more then put a message on a public forum.

I think the steering is very responsive and a very good system
