No worries. Do a search on it mate, either in this section or probably more to be found in the garage section. :wink:

Find one with power steering being broken and take all the parts you need.

Uj would be available from Vw and not a bad price if you can get it for that.

It is the part that links your steering rack to the column it is different on pas versions.

The UJ is the universal joint, as above, it connects the rack to the column. If the fella on eBay is selling all that kit, I would assume he'd still have the UJ.

On PAS models its a spot longer IIRC and a different size.

just asked him if it comes with it.

would this be easy for a mechanics noob like myself to fit??

from vw it would be very expensive, but its easily found in scrappies I beleive 90s age SEAT ibiza/toledo one will fit.

the ebay kit is also missing the boot that covers the uj, this is also different.  Oh and one of the pipes is missing, looks to be the one between the pump and the reservoir, though this is pretty generic a MK3 one would probably fit, not a pressure hose either so not hard to buy off the shelf.

he isnt selling the UJ with it. would this one work? or does it need to be the smaller one like in bens pic??

also, could you get me an example of the pipe that will be needed? thanks

as long as it deffo came of a pas mk2 yep its the one you want :)

oh and yet another thing thats missing is the crank pulley  :grin:

as for pipe its a push fit type thing, goes from pump to the front of the pas reservoir
