Steering rack?

Hi,

Well the noise I've been getting has been diagnosed as the steering rack  :scared: he's going to price up a second hand and a reconditioned one tomorrow and give me a price, for those that have replaced there's for a second hand or a recon, what price all in did you pay?

Not ideally what I wanted to go wrong but I'm fretting a fair bit as I know it can be costly  :sad1:

Hmm... cant remember exactly but I think i paid about 800 for a recon 3rd gen one at AKS.

Have one here with 100k km for 150 if you don't get sorted.

MK5s have 3 rack revisions, or is gen 3 from a MK6 or something?

I've heard a rack is about £1500 from VW.  Not surprised they bite the dust.  Over tyred German cars have always chewed through steering racks.

I paid £90 for a 38k mile rack from a GTI. Spent ages looking in to part numbers as there are 3 generations and multiple steering weight profiles. Recon racks can be had as cheap as 300ish notes for a gen2. New genuine is silly money
