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.

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.
