View Full Version : Power steering to 205
Hi
I have a quick rack and well its very heavy and I find it difficult to steer sometimes ( aka Mondello Rallysprint on 6th Dec. ) so I want to get power steering..
I heard from someone that I need a rack from the 1.9 gti 205 and the pump from a 106. this correct? are they expensive ?

Sorry for interupting your post but I also would like to put a steering rack in my car ive no idea tho I think you can either go electric or pump driven I looked at prices for one for my corsa :o:o:o:o
u can get an electric steering column from a 1.0 12v or 1.2 16v (98 - 00 ) corsa and a control box from quick motorsport. £550.00 for all or there abouts ;)
the electric pump or the cheaper control unit are a waste of time and money;) had both and they are no use,lost the entry fees for three rallies because of them so the quickmotorsport would of been cheaper in the long run :roll:
+ u have a great amount of adjustment from it;)

that seems very expensive hh do a kit for about 250 and the forest boys over in uk swear by them there is another company doing the kit for about 100 and the are susposed to be as well .
what sort of bother had you ???
as for a 205 some of the last of the gti's had ps try finding a crashed one and take the rack and pump off it.

So Is there a hydralic power stering system in any of the corsas? ive looked on diff places and they all seem to be elctrical
Is there any where I can just buy a bolt it kit complete??
what happens if the power steering pump fails? does the steering lock up or does it just turn really heavy ?

the steerin just gets really heavy
4 years competing with a Nova power steering rack and Saxo electric pump, has never needed attention since fitted.
cool.. any idea what the prices would be roughly for a rack and pump ?

did any of the latter 205's come with ps if so a rack out of one of them would do and a pump out of a crashed saxo shouldn be to expensive maybe 100€

it just gets relly heavy thats all but its still driveable,
the 1900cc 205 gti the later type had power steering why not get one off a 1.9 205 with the pump, the rack and pipes and use the inside of the quick rack with the outer body of the power steering and it wll be a quick rack with power steering, this works as i done it before on a rallycross car before.. even the 309gti powersteering pump and pipes will work as well

What that suppose to mean JJ just cause your "lucky" to have a bit of cash to float about in a WRC car dosent mean everyone else does W A N K E R by the way I do have a car k smart fella:mad:
i was talking to a mechanic/scruitineer today..he said he got the rack from a 205 automatic and a 106 pump for his 205 gti rally car when he had one..
Anyone know where I can get one of those racks or does anyone have any ?
