Power Steering

Recommended Posts

Since my 1.6 GTI got converted to Mi16 power, my power steering has been a lot heavier.

 

Any ideas why this would be? Someone suggested the pulley may be the wrong size (??)

 

Cheers.

Possibly. But I wouldn't have thought the difference to be so great. It's heavier to the point where my mate thought I got the PAS removed.

I have heard that the Mi16 pas pump never makes as much pressure as an 8v as its cam driven (1/2 speed) not crank driven.

 

Could try an electric pump...
