i just got engine swap and power steering put in forjust over ?200!! but it cost ?250 in labour to get it put in the first car originally! came from a scciroco first and is now in its second golf, very worth while, apparently steering racks were a pain in the arse though!

how big a job is this to tackle without paying a garage to do it for you?

pain in the arse having wide tyres and no p/s
