Croma Electric Steering Column Fault

Sounds tricky. I've not had that exact problem, but electric steering faults can be a pain. Have you checked the fuses and relays? A blown fuse could cause this, and that's a simple fix. Were the diagnostic codes specific, or just a general error? More info can help narrow it down.

Thanks, I checked the fuses, and they're fine. I'll need to get the specific diagnostic code again. If it is a cable or plug issue, is it reasonable to try a repair myself, or should I get professional help? I'm trying to budget for this.

If the fuses are fine, and you suspect a cable or plug, it could still be a corroded connector or damaged wire. You could inspect the wiring, but accessing it might be difficult, and you risk damaging other components. Given the error code points to the electric steering column, the repair may require specialized tools or recalibration. I'd advise seeking professional help. My workshop quoted 95€. DIY could cause further damage.

Thanks for the detailed input. Considering the potential complications and need for specialized tools, I'll get it done at a workshop. You've confirmed my doubts and helped me avoid a potentially costly mistake. I've received a similar estimate, about 95€, so I have a good benchmark.
