Sounds like complete twaddle to me, all mk4 steering racks were the same, only the Leon Cupra R, TT and S3 had a quicker ratio rack.

Lol. If everyone had that way of thinking then wouldn't we all have changed ours by now! What tosh!

Good find though

No need to change it - as Wayne says Anniversary's run 18" wheels with the same rack as standard
