We’re proud to offer our in-house designed and manufactured Electronic Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) kit for the legendary VW T25 T3 Vanagon. 
 
We now offer professional installation at our workshop — ideal if you’d prefer us to handle the job. Message us to book.
 
This system is designed to retrofit to vehicles running a standard (non-hydraulic) steering rack, giving you modern power steering feel while retaining the character of your original van.
No more wrestling the wheel when parking. No more arm workout in tight spots. Just smooth, controlled steering that transforms how your van drives.
 
Why Fit EPAS?
Classic T25 steering can be heavy — especially at low speed, when manoeuvring, or with larger tyres. Our EPAS system:
✔ Makes parking effortless
✔ Reduces steering effort at low speeds
✔ Maintains firm, stable feel at motorway speeds
✔ Improves control in cross-winds
✔ Makes long journeys more comfortable
 
The result? A van that feels years newer to drive.
 
Smart Assistance — Not Over-Assisted
 
Our units feature an automatic sensitivity controller that continuously adjusts steering assistance based on driver input.
• Light steering when parking
• Progressively firmer at higher speeds
• Assistance calculated from steering load and recent driver input
This gives a natural, confidence-inspiring feel — not vague or overly light.
