Query about power steering rack, 8v/16v
« 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.

Does anyone know the part number for the 16v Rack, and where to find it?
