Rhys C Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 Any one changed a steering rack on a tdi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR5V Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 Suspect it will be the same for all Lupo's - disconnect tie rods from bearing carriers, take out bolt through steering rack in footwell, undo fixings holding rack to subframe, undo lower engine/box mount, undo subframe bolts and drop subframe with control arms still connected to bearing carriers - swap rack. rebuild is reversal of removal Complications are: power steering connections. Rack can only go into column one way so take a bit of time lining that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weslangdon Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 The difference is in the pipework, I think the racks themselves are all the same, the pipework for the TDI is no longer available from dealers, if that's the problem you might get it fixed at Pirtek or you might get a 2nd hand one from a breaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
