Steering rack woes.....

<< < (2/5) > >>

Donx22:
Thanks for the help, looks like I new to replace rack then

Current part no fitted is 1k2 423 055 scoring to my parts guy, do you know what part numbers i would need for rack and loom by any chance? Will a golf wagon steering rack be the same from 2012!? If you
Need a reg for my vehicle or Vin to help?

Thanks again

Donx22:
Infact i have just done a scan and this is what it comes up


Addres 44: Steering Assist   Labe;s 1Kx-909-14xc-44.clb

Part NO. 1K2 909 144M

Component: EPS_ZFLS KL.074 H08 1901

Now i believe that part no to be a mk6 part anyway? so does that mean the rack has previously been replace or i wont need the extra loom if i buy a mk6 rack?

sorry i didn't get back to you i fell asleep

its not quite as simple as that, the control module has its own part number as such but comes as part of the steering rack which is the main number you need, this is not read by vcds

both gen 2 and gen 3 have the same part number as they dropped gen 2 to have gen 3 fitted with new wiring

1K2423055K   may have an X on the end as this is an exchange part

the new wiring is unfortunately 90 ish quid from VW is 1K2971111AJ

whats a golf Wagon? if you mean plus or estate then they eventually used after some supersession the same part number as above but would be gen 3 by 2012 here is a pic of the difference

 

Differentiating between 2nd and 3rd generation steering boxes
From model year 2009, a new, 3rd generation, steering box is being used. It replaces the 2nd generation steering box.
To identify the type of steering box while it is fitted, count the number of bolts with which the steering box is attached to the subframe.
–   Raise vehicle.
The 2nd generation steering box is attached to the subframe with 4 bolts and the 3rd generation steering box is attached with 3

You sir are a legend!

Sorry I meant estate when I said wagon (to much time working in the industry, il be saying hood next  :fighting:)

Ok i will get onto TPS today and get a loom ordered, should be able to pick up the rack this aft boon arm then it's just fingers crossed!

Il kept you know how it goes, quick last question, do I need a fitting kit for the gen 3 rack to gen 2 subframe? 

vRSAlex:
Fitting kit is a pair of boot, clips and grease. Only needed if swapping over the old track arms.

Coding can be a pain as it's an odd procedure. Not too hard though.
