MG ZS Steering Fault - clicking when turning

[Steve Kaye]

Good morning. I am happy to report that I picked my MGZS up from the dealer a couple of days ago and a new steering column has been fitted under warranty. The car was also serviced and the cost for this was AU$ I075 which translates into 537 GB pounds...this did include one windscreen wiper. Is this normal??

I also had a steering column replaced under warranrty at approx 6500km

My first service ( 2 yrs) was around NZ $450. and I thought this was too expensive.

My second service ( at 4 yrs ) will be at least NZ$1400.. they have the replace the main battery coolant
As soon as Im out of the 7 yr warranty ( in 2029) i wont use the MG dealers anymore for service

Dont buy wipers from the MG dealer
Get them here Wiper Blades - High Performance AeroFlex by Wipertech

best to call another MG garage in Australia and just ask how much is service (which year?) and how much to change wipers. And, as far as I know, wipers are changed (and charged for) as a pair, not one only - unless it's the rear one.

I got a set of 3 from AliExpress for £10 or so, from memory...

Wow Steve Kay, that seems expensive. We have had our car serviced in Launceston Tasmania and it cost us around $220 for the service. Our car is a 2021 ZS EV it has 30,000 kilometres on it now.
Our car has a clunk in the steering too, so we will have to contact the dealer and get that fixed soon.

Nothing is cheap in NZ.
My brother has a Hyundai Santa Fe, a service is typically NZ $800
I had a Kona, avg service cost $600

Pete G, please get your steering assessed NOW, it is hugely safety-critical.

We have our car booked in for it to be fixed. The dealer did not seem to have heard of the problem, so we wrote to them explaining what the problem is and how folks here have fixed it.
Fortunately we don't need to drive it every day, usually only once a week.
i will print photos of how to access the bolts by taking the steering column cover off
