Title: differences in power steering?
Post by: VeeDubGTI16v on 22 July 2007, 16:34

hi guys is there any differences in the power steering through the mk2 range? i might buy a setup of a gl but want the rack to be the same as the gti?

best thing to do would be find somebody willing to do a bit of research on etka for you

I think the only differences are lock to lock between pas and non pas racks but then i could be wrong

Ive read that before but i think its an urban myth, i cant notice the difference between 8v and 16v power steering

the 16v is meant to have a heavier weighted PAS rack. no difference in turns though

If you find that the steering IS too light, then it can be made heavier by using a smaller diameter high pressure pipe, but as far as I'm aware, theres no difference, and you can use a PAS rack from any Golf 2

The 16v pas brackets are different from the rest of mk2 golfs.  Other than that they are all the same - least thats what I was told when I asked about doing it on my 8v
