tyrone670 0 Posted May 16, 2007 Hi ppl, i think i am in need of a new steering rack judging by the fact that my rack boots were full of fluid!! tis a 1990 1.8 16v corrado, been gettin prices of around 140 for the rack plus surcharge in wait for mine being sent back. does this sound about right??? got a price from vw of 400!! a bit over budget unfortunatly. also is it at all likely that the power steering pump might have been damaged due to the rack failure? (in terms of meteal filings in the fluid etc.) thanks very much Jon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted May 16, 2007 it'll be just the seals in the rack that have gone, 140 quid seems about right for a recon rack, check play in pump shaft with the belt off, and possibly remove the pressure hose, then unscrew the pressure valve underneath, extract the valve and clean it's tiny gauze filter, make sure the sides of the valve are score free and it moves smoothly in the body of the pump, if all OK it'll be fine.
