• The generation 2 steering gear is no longer available as a replacement part.

• Install a generation 3 steering gear if replacing a steering gear.

• In addition to this, the electrical wiring set from the E-box to the steering gear must be changed. It will be included with the new steering gear.

• The electrical wiring set is delivered complete together with the wiring for the service interval display.

• If the vehicle does not have a service interval display, then the 3-pin connector, not being used, must be sealed off with a flat terminal housing with contact seal (1J0 973 803).
