VR6Pete 0 Posted June 3, 2013 What would be the part number I'd need for a new steering rack for my corrado vr6 (l plate) Cheers. Pete Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enzo 10 Posted June 19, 2013 Might aswell list all the racks, just incase its of help to anyone else... RHD (non VR6) 1989 to 1992 = 192422061P (has 36 splines where column UJ attaches) RHD (non VR6) 1992 to 1995 = 192422061K (has 22 splines where column UJ attaches) RHD VR6 = 1H2422061A The early non-VR6 one is just the same as a Mk2 Golf 16V, and the VR6 one is shared with Mk3 GTi/VR6. Its just that late non-VR6 one which is a bit of an odd ball, as only seem to be on Corrados even though they have a Mk2 Golf looking part number.

clumpy1 11 Posted June 19, 2013 I had a feeling it was trade only :( Ah well there is a place in glasgow that rebuild them I'll give them a try. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted June 19, 2013 Oh yeah should have said it was purchased through D&G Autotech, who then fitted it for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 20, 2013 You can buy a rebuild kit from VW for the ZF VR6 rack. A couple of bearings, some seals and things. I paid £80 for it a few years ago. I never fitted it, so I can't tell you what's involved I'm afraid. It's all refurbishers usually do, and then spray it black. The actual rack and pinion themselves rarely wear to a very noticable degree, unless it's a 200K mile old one. What happens in most case is a seal goes. Usually on the offside. The gaiter will slowly fill up with PAS fluid when this happens, so keep an eye on your fluid level and see if your steering is heavier in one direction than the other.

clumpy1 11 Posted June 20, 2013 Pretty sure mine still has the G60 rack I also read in Stoney's build thread that he had got a rebuild kit to do his if he did do it I am not surprised it's leaky considering he put the brake caliper's on upside down :thumb right: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 0 Posted June 20, 2013 My seals are fine, its just heavy to turn to the right side, turning left is really light. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60_Marc 0 Posted June 20, 2013 Could be a kinked hard pipe on the rack or most likely the internal seals on the rack. I started to put together a step by step of how to take a TRW rack apart and replace the seals if you fancy having a go at it yourself, No special tools needed. Cost me about £38 for a TRW rack internal seal kit from VW, and a few quid for rack boots. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 0 Posted June 21, 2013 Ill look over the pipes, did wonder that but looked ok when did subframe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
