Okay my punto (2000, mk2, elx 8v)failed its MOT on power steering, Am told by garage to get a new electric power steering column (no mention of ecu), I look on ebay and find a seller, but they state you need to know the ecu number so that you get the right one for your car.

Basically, do I need to know the ecu number if i'm just getting a new "electric power steering column" ? or will any electric powersteering column work if its from a mk2 punto ?

Been told different things by garages, internet, and more.


Please help as ive got the car in in a few days and need to go get the part

Many thanks
Max
