Sorry I meet to go on to say that I had read somewhere that the universal joint needs to de changed also with a PAS one in other words its only the steering column that is the same.
I haven't had first hand experience of this so hopefully someone can confirm this?
However I also have just removed my manual steering rack from my mk2 in the cold on the driveway!
What condition was you gaitor in for your manual steering? If it was still in one peace would you be willing to sell it? I have a wanted add for this part.
