Hi, I had a similar problem with my Opel Corsa from 2013. The control unit was defective in my car. As you suspect, this could also be the case for you. The technicians then carried out a comprehensive check on my Corsa to find the exact cause. It turned out that a defective component in the control unit was the cause. So the entire control unit had to be replaced. So yes, it was a serious problem, but after the control unit was replaced, everything ran like clockwork again. No further problems since then. So if I were you, I would have your guess checked out. Good luck!

Hey, thanks for your answer! Your story sounds really similar to my situation. Do you remember how much the whole thing cost? And everything has gone smoothly since then, right? No more nasty surprises?

Hi, yes, since the visit to the mechanic, the defect in the motor for the steering column adjustment has been fixed and I've had no further problems with the steering. On the subject of costs... I have to admit that it was a bit of a money pit - it cost me a thousand to repair the defective control unit. But since then everything has been running smoothly again, no more nasty surprises. I hope this helps you and you don't end up with the same bill!

Hey thanks for the quick reply! Oh, a grand...that's quite a bit, but if it helps, it would probably be worth it. It's good to hear that you haven't had any further problems since the repair. I'll definitely get it checked out at the garage now and hope for the best too. Thanks again for your help and especially for sharing your experience with me. It has definitely helped to reassure me!
