Fitment on a used power steering pump varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The Vauxhall Tigra uses electric power steering (EPS), not a hydraulic system, so there is no power steering pump on this car. This applies to both the original Tigra (1994–2001) and the Tigra TwinTop (2004–2009). If your steering feels heavy or unresponsive, the fault is likely in the electric power steering motor, column, or control module rather than a pump. Search for the EPS motor or steering column assembly instead.
It is not a genuine Tigra part — the Tigra never used hydraulic power steering at any point in its production run, so no pump was ever factory fitted. Listings you see are likely mislabelled, listed against the wrong vehicle, or confused with another Vauxhall model such as the Astra or Vectra which did use hydraulic systems. Do not purchase one expecting it to fit or function on a Tigra.
Because the TwinTop relies on electric power steering, the components to investigate are the EPS steering column motor, the power steering control module, or the steering rack itself. A breaker breaking a Tigra TwinTop of the same year range is your best source for a like-for-like used column or module. Confirm the exact part you need with a diagnosis first, as EPS faults often throw a fault code that points clearly to the failed component.
For the electric power steering column and motor, engine size is not the primary fitment variable since the system is electrically driven rather than engine-driven. The key distinction is between the original Tigra (1994–2001) and the Tigra TwinTop (2004–2009), as these are different generations with different platforms. Confirm the exact year and generation with your breaker against your registration to ensure the column assembly matches.
Trim level does not affect the core electric power steering components on the Tigra TwinTop — a Sport or Design trim car uses the same fundamental EPS setup. You may find minor cosmetic differences such as steering wheel style between trims, but the column, motor, and rack fitment is not trim-dependent. If you are replacing the full steering wheel, note that wheel design may differ between trims, so check your existing wheel before buying.
