Non PAS to PAS on a mk2 golf 1.3

[ravstar13]

Hi Guys

Just cannot seem to a full answer on the exact parts needed, I found a mechanic who said he will fit it as long as I get all the parts but he is being vague, dont know if I should take to him now to be fair haha. what in your experience is needed? would i need the rack, pump reservoir and new alternator and bracket for the alternator?

Rack.
Pump and possible mounts
Resevoir & mount
Possibly different pulley for the belt to run off.

Just thinking of what I bought when I converted and E30 to power steering.

I assume when you say altenator you actually mean the PAS pump?

Do you really need power steering on a 1300 MK2 golf, spend the money on a personal trainer and convert the spaghetti arms instead ;o))))

its not my one its my kid brothers and my sis wants to drive it as well, dont wanna be one of those families where everyone and the cat,dog and odd snail in the garden has car, as my sis wont drive it a lot to be fair. its a lovely motor and reliable just needs to be updates ....But we got most of the parts, so should be ok i hope.

I’ve done a Corsa C electric column conversion on one, part was about £50 from a scrapyard. A controller from eBay about £40. An aftermarket steering wheel and boss was probably about £100. And took me around a morning to fit it. That was about 6years who and it’s still working fine to this day.
