Title: Query about power steering rack, 8v/16v
Post by: Ant on 06 April 2005, 09:00: Is there any difference between the power steering rack from an 8v or 16v?

I'm sure I read somewhere that there was, but can't find the text now.

Thanks in advance.

I'll be giving that a look over.

The current power rack leaks like a sieve but I managed to get hold of a new one (actually a whole system) so I hope to swap out the rack soon, or find someone to do it for me (My track record on mechanics is not good).
