Second Hand Mercedes-Benz Citan Power Steering Pump

The Citan (both the W415 first generation from 2012 and the W420 second generation from 2021) uses electric power steering (EPS), not a hydraulic system, so there is no power steering pump fitted to any variant of this model. If your steering feels heavy or unresponsive, the fault is more likely to lie with the electric power steering motor, the steering column assembly, or the EPS control module. You may want to search for those parts instead, or describe your symptoms to the breaker so they can point you toward the correct component.

No Citan has ever been fitted with a hydraulic power steering pump, so a failed pump cannot be the cause. The Citan uses an electric power steering system throughout its entire production run, meaning the components to investigate are the EPS motor (usually mounted on the steering rack or column), the associated wiring and sensors, and the EPS ECU. A breaker who specialises in Citans or related Renault Kangoo-based vans will be able to advise on which of these components is most commonly at fault.

There is no power steering pump on any year of Citan - the van uses electric power steering across the entire W415 generation (2012 to 2021) and the W420 generation (2021 onwards), so no hydraulic pump exists to swap between vehicles. If you are chasing a steering fault, the relevant part to source would be from the EPS system rather than a hydraulic pump. Confirm the exact component you need with a breaker, quoting your registration, as the EPS units between the W415 and W420 generations are unlikely to be interchangeable.

Neither the diesel nor the petrol variants of the Citan were fitted with a hydraulic power steering pump - the electric power steering system is used across all engine options in both generations. Engine size and fuel type make no difference here because the steering assistance is entirely electrically driven rather than being taken as a mechanical or hydraulic output from the engine. If you are sourcing a used EPS component, engine variant is unlikely to be the key fitment factor, but confirm against your registration with the breaker.

Because the Citan has no hydraulic power steering pump at all, trim level is irrelevant to this particular search. If you are looking for EPS components, trim names such as Pure, Progressive, or Tourer are unlikely to affect fitment either, as the steering system is shared across the range. The more important factors for EPS parts will be the generation (W415 or W420) and potentially the payload or GVW rating, so confirm the correct part against your registration with the breaker.
