Power Steering

[golf girl]

Hi

Could do with a little help. I have decided to fit my Jetta GTI 16V with power steering this operation was successfully performed with my Jetta TX that I used to own although things are a little different with this one as it has air conditioning fitted as standard. Mounting the pump is causing a few difficulties as the air con mounts where the power steering pump usually mounts. Any chance anyone out there has a 16V with air con and power steering that could provide me with a photo, diagram or any info on whats going wrong.

sorry don't really know about this, but if it was me i'd probably sell the air-con and fit the power steering instead!! not what you asked but hey, its the best i could do!!! power steering has got to be more usefull than air-con anyday?

It sounds like you don't have genuine aircon, aftermarket kits have the aircon pulley low down where the PAS bits need to be. 

If you have a genuine kit you should have a different heater control pannel with no extra buttons to activate the aircon, and the passenger side dash under-tray should be smaller as well as the glove box, which will be tiny

It is genuine air con but it doesn't really matter now as the problem is solved.What doesn't really help matters is when you get the wrong information from the dealers. Got a print of from EKTA and it showed 2 different versions of air con fixings needles to say they were trying to get me to buy a bracket for well over £100 when it wasn't needed.
