Did you know? Steering Column Switches

Y ou don’t need to go to the dealer! Many customers believe steering column switches must be sourced from the main dealer. For many popular applications Euro Car Parts can actually offer an OE Quality unit from stock! The range consists of, a full range of French & Italian options, an ever increasing range of Ford and Vauxhall applications, VAG units having recently been introduced into range. All are already in stock around ECP branches. The steering column switch set up on each vehicle is slightly different, below are the variations:

1. Indicator or Wiper

switch sold separately 2. Central clock spring module only 3. Complete module Each vehicle also has different options from the factory which dictates which unit needs to be supplied. This ranges from automatic wipers & lights, Foglamps and cruise control. Because of multiple options from the factory it can leave many customers in the aftermarket confused as to which unit needs to be supplied. Asking dozens of questions to the customer on which options the vehicle has or hasn’t got is not necessary. The correct unit

can be identified using the OE number linked to the chassis number of the vehicle. This can be sourced via the various catalogues at our disposal.
