Its an electronic system with an electric motor providing the assistance.

Its advisable to change the power steering ECU if you change the rack motor (rack) if its failed because they affect each other.

It will be best to make sure the Power Steering ECU is not at fault before changing the rack, but be prepared to change both as a bad rack can damage the ECU :(

The ABS system can disable the power steering, so be sure you have no ABS faults present before looking into the EPAS.

Euro Car Parts do a good price on the rack, have a look here for the rack.

You can also find a second hand rack from on ebay.

and pick up an electronic power steering ECU on ebay too here.

Diagnose Citroen C3 faults like this with Lexia or Diagbox.
