Don't know mate!

Iv'e got power steering on my present golf. It's well nice. Didn't have it on my last one,which was particularly heavy for some reason? much heavier than my boyfriends which didn't have it either.The differance is amazing!

I'm only small and used to do a hell of a lot of miles. I got well hard! muscles and everything! It was the parking that nearly killed me.

I'm sure it cant be that hard to get it, but if it is it will be worth it!

Sorry to be of no help whatsoever

Need to make up a bracket for the pump mount, source a set of pullies for the belt, and also run it into the column. Its, not too hard, but just a pain to get round to it all.

I personally hate powersteering, completely detatched me from the car, cannot feel a bloody thing when driving on the road, am tempted to just rip my belt off before coming up to E38 this weekend.
