Power Steering?
« on: 17 February 2008, 16:25 »
Hi Iv got a Volkswagen Golf 1994

Downside it doesnt have PAS.

Just wondering if there is a way to fit PAS? and how much it would cost?

Thanks.

Cheapest way would be to sell up and buy a mk3 with it to be honest

i have no pas either on my 1.4 1993 golf, ive also been thinkin could this be done , getting hold of the parts wouldnt be a problem as i live down the road from a vw breakers yard and parts are really cheap, especially for a 1.4 because not many people have 1.4 golfs so there is not alot of people who want parts for them

Yea same here i live right near a brakers yard so parts wouldnt be a problem id just need to know what to look for and possibly an FAQ on how to do it.

let me know if you have any joy.

Plans for mine are, Coilovers, electric windows, electric m3 mirrors, debadged and a complete colour code.

1 More thing does anyone happen to have any tips on rusting? iv got a problem on the drivers door bottom corner pretty badly rusted.

Thanks.

If you mean the sill, basically cut it out and weld a new bit of metal in, this area of the car with rust is awful, and can kill your car, if its bigger than a pennie, please dont fill it  :sick:

Realy dont, it will just eat away until it gets to the point it cant be welded up. get it done properly.
