Power Steering Ram Leaking

[christopher 5 1 Cars]

My dad says that the powere steering ram on his 205 1.9 is leaking

 

Servicebox shows two versions, one for diesel and carbs and another for injection.

 

• Does anyone know what the difference is?
• Are there any reliable companies to service these racks & rams
• Any ideas if they can both be used?

 

part number are 401145 & 401144

 

Thanks

 

Christopher

I think you might be able to use one off a 405 also, but I'm not 100% sure.

 

I believe they look more or less identical.

you could fit a 306 rack & ram cheap enough

One is NLA and one isn't.

 

I had this discussion I cant see being much difference.

 

My mate Remco has one going cheap if you want his.

 

$125 Euro plus tax, they are close to £300 UK pounds over here.

 

That's the 4011 44 he has (non GTI)

 

Add a bit postage as well.

Does 401144 actually fit? Have you tired this?

[farmer 327 1 Cars]

It will fit as the racks are the same as far as I know.

 

Must be a slight difference somewhere but whether it's a problem I can't say.

Cant see a ram off a 405 fitting, my 605's ram was huge in comparison (a lot fatter and longer) and the 405 is a similar sized car to a 605.

 

Surely someone with a 405 can say for sure?

605 is far larger, 405 is the same size as a 306, and we know how many parts from those bolt straight on.

I have a spare 205 ram you're welcome to for the cost of postage.

605 is far larger, 405 is the same size as a 306, and we know how many parts from those bolt straight on.

 

Oh right, the 605 is a bit larger and wider, just assumed they would have similar racks

We fitted the 44 version and this works fine now.
