Pas Racks

[dave205 19]

Now my gti is up together and on the road, after going to pugfest i want another little project, so have decided to put some power steering on it.

 

A few questions though:

 

What are the differences between the different 205/106 racks etc.

 

I have pas racks off the following 205's 1.8 diesel, 1.8 turbo diesel and you guessed it a 1.8 dturbo!I also have a 106 1.1 rack and a saxo vtr one. Does anyone know how many turns they all are and what will fit or need modifying.

 

Im planning on running an electric pump off the 106 will a small resevoir as most people on here do.

106/Saxo racks won't fit.

 

205/309 PAS racks are all 3.2 turn lock to lock (3.9 turn for a non-PAS)

Afaik 106 racks are completely different fitment and cant be interchanged, using the electric pump though is doable. The diesel pas rack can be used no problem. This going in an 8v or mi/gti-6 as the parts needed will vary??

 

A search will answer most of your questions though tbh, there are lots on steering racks.

Cheers anthony, i'll go with one of the 205 racks i have then, i'll reduce lock by .7 of a turn at least.
