Steering rack woes.....
doylebros:
Shame you didn't take a few photos and write up a how too, as this has been educational to read!
Would help plenty people,since Gen 2 isn't an option any more.

I can have a rumage on my phone, I think I took a few, it's pretty simple... Subframe off, mark it up before hand, also need to take subframe upper legs off, mark again, you will need to get aligns meant done after so make sure you have new bolts so then you can shift the subframe is any lob sided camber issues.
Disconnect the steering column behind the pedals, again new bolt needed.
The new rack has 3 bolts instead of 4 holding it on, one bolt is longer, so make sure you get VW to order you the mk6bolts :happy2:
Then all back together, new rack ends while your at it about £25 in bolts, £50 rack ends, and new rack anywhere between £150-200 look around and get a gen3
Il try to get the pics up and write a more detailed explanation but it's root to bad, about 3 hours if you have a good jug of coffee and know your way around
doylebros:
With those photos you have, a how too for the mechanical and the coding, there's plenty of people on here who would undertake the task or help fellow members who wouldn't and don't have the funds to pay the stealers demands!
So if you've got the time in my opinion it would be an excellent item for the
