How did you get on today mate?  Hope all went well

Donx22:
Indeed! I have rack sitting next to me which I needs to clean up a bit, gen 3 part no 1k0 909 144N or that may the control unit, anyway has about 10k on it and is 18 months old!
One new wiring loom from TPS also sitting here as they had then in stock, didn't order the fitting kit as I got whole rack and I have new rack ends in the garage for the mk5 which I was going I put on next alignment so that that sorted!  :happy2:

All new bolts for subframe also sitting here so hopefully will swap them over in the morn, should have it done by lunch and then it's just coding it.....   :confused:

Thanks for all the help mate! Much appreciated
1 question that's been puzzling me all say tho.... So now with the gen3 racks you can't change the profile of the steering feeling.!?!? So will the new rack feel like an estate or are all the new racks the same an then I an push details of my car being a gti onto it!? Or is it all down to caster trail and alighnment and the setting makes no difference to steering feel!?!? Very confused!

SI-R32:
That's a very good point, the rack is what holds the characteristic curve for your steering,  so your probably going to need a trip to vw for that one, annoying I know but I will probably be bland steering for now

Donx22:
That's not to much of a problem I can't see them charging me more than an hours labour. Il try crack on with the rack off in the morn and let you know how it goes
