Steering on Fiat Ducato

[Pausim]

I asked Adams Morey if there were any preventative measures I could take to stop this potential problem, they said not really. It did not appear that they were overwhelmed with cases. Perhaps someone else could also seek their expert advice to see if there is something we could do, Simon was not available at the time I spoke to them.

The issue is a concern. I've not inspected the steering rack wiring on our van but do we believe that there is effectively zero waterproofing on all Ducatos with the leccy steering ? Or is this a Covid-era issue of corners being cut / parts unavailable and so some vans may be more susceptible to failure ?

I see that Lanoguard make a waterproof electrical spray. I wonder if spraying the outside of the connectors with this would help keep the water out.

Lanoguard Moto Electrics Spray

Superior Motorbike Grease better than anything you've tried before. Very versatile, long lasting, heavy-duty chain lubricant, electrolysis and corrosion prevention and anti seize.

It is a bit strange however that most of the reported problems appear on motorhome fun. An internet search doesn’t reveal many other reports elsewhere.

Hard to say what % are affected by power steering faults, but you’ll find some on the Adria Twin FB pages.
