I get plenty of feeling also. PS does make turning easier but id hardly say its light. Its not like the punto's and their girly button anyway. Each to their own i suppose.

Yup same, when driving along it seems heavier than when you stop!

I still have plenty of feeling also. Lets face it the PS doesent exactly make it light. i.e its not like the girly button in fiat puntos.

Interesting comment about the 16v rack being quicker which leads me to ask the obvious question............................it should be possible to swap the 16v rack into an 8v set-up wouldn't it? Have a missed something obvious, as usual

As long as the pipes still connect and physically its the same shape and size.

Cheers for that, I guess that's a project for the cold winter nights when the engine transplant comes up..............if the new project doesn't take over from the GTi....................a Fiat Coupe 20v, same as the Golf really just a few more valves

yep it is, 8v & 16v racks are physically the same shape & size.

I'm not sure if the quicker rack statement is true or not, one of those things that gets passed arround word of mouth, but isn't really backed up.  ETKA is no help as most of the part numbers are discontinued!
