Someone will no doubt correct me if I am wrong, but..
The ESP needs to know where the front wheels are pointing before it calculates what corrective action to take.
I think the ESP sensor for steering position is located in the slip ring assembly just behind the steering wheel. This also has the contacts for the airbag and steering wheel controls. It is also known as the "capsule" or "rotary switch"

You are holding back on vital elements of the problem here, first post didnt say anything about airbags deploying, just that the car was in for an ESP fault. :banghead:
Cant really help if I dont know the full story...my ESP has also failed.
Ask the dealer to explain, in writing, exactly what they are taking your money for....:S

No problem, just makes it easier if I have the full story.
I would still be inclined to say my first answer is probably correct as it would make sense, given they have replaced the steering column.
It is possible the capsule was damaged if the column came up with the impact.
Big bang then?
Did you find the other thread ?

hmm...it was a side impact on the drivers side front wheel so this may have happened as a result...

Sounds like the sensors damaged could be when they changed the rack depends how they did it.
Thats sensor been known to fail before though.
Second hand froma breakers yard for undamed rack will be cheaper. Bit of a pain to fit but nothing shocking least the'll be no rust where the rack and the shaft meet up.
