{"product_id":"electric-steering-assist-motor-and-control-unit","title":"Electric Steering Assist Motor and Control Unit","description":"The Genuine electric power steering rack is a complete rack-and-pinion assembly for MQB-platform vehicles, engineered with an integrated electric motor and electronic control unit. This unit serves as a direct replacement for faulty or worn steering gears, addressing symptoms such as stiff or noisy steering, inconsistent assist, or an illuminated EPS warning light. It is compatible with a range of models including the VW Golf Sportsvan (AM1), Passat B8 (3G2\/3G5), Skoda Superb III (3V3\/3V5), Skoda Karoq, and SEAT Ateca, provided they carry steering code 1N3.\n\nInstallation requires professional diagnostic capability and careful adherence to electronic protocols. As a coded electronic module, the integrated EPS control unit must be programmed to the vehicle using VAG-compatible software such as VCDS or ODIS for vehicle-specific coding, steering angle calibration, and end-stop adaptation. Failure to perform these routines will prevent proper communication with the vehicle's electronic stability programme (ESP) and result in an active warning light.\n\nThis rack is strictly for electric power steering (EPS) systems and is not compatible with hydraulic steering variants. It is fitment-gated by steering code 1N3; it does not fit racks with different code suffixes. Additionally, vehicles equipped with optional Lane Assist or Park Assist packages that necessitate a different steering control unit suffix require VIN-based verification before ordering. The part also does not fit the VW Arteon (3H7) without specific steering code confirmation.","brand":"Genuine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52664211374392,"sku":"5Q1423062K","price":427.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687387585.jpg?v=1784335223","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/electric-steering-assist-motor-and-control-unit","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
