3B vs RS2 Steering rack....

[Tony Stark]

The time has nearly come for me to pull the head off of my 3B coupe, so im going to take this opportunity to replace the rack after i discovered it was running red fluid and the seals were already leaking on it

I read a post somewhere from Alex about the rs2 racks being 2.6 turns lock to lock compared with the 3B 3.0 turns?

Is the 2.6t rack a straight swap?

Can i retain the servotronic assistance?

Should i expect my hands to look like corned beef by the time i'm finished under the bonnet?

Can anyone recommend a good company to supply a rack - i only want to do this job once.
Cheers

As far as I know it should be straight swap but won't retain the servotronic assistance. From what I've heard, without it feels better, was removed from the cars in 93ish I believe.

Someone else can add to that please?

Its a straight swap, but you will loose servotronic as only the 3B rack has it

The 2.6 turn rack is found in the RS2, ABY S2 and V6 engined coupes.
I have a good one if you need it, £60 + P&P

What does servotronic feel like anyway? Is it kind of like electric steering? I quote like the standard ABY one, heavy but in a good way

Error, do you know what a B4 V6 Cabrio rack is lock to lock ?

Thanks.

Not sure to be honest mate, the 2.6 turn rack p/n is 896 422 065 B if that helps

Cheers guys

The servotronic assistance at low speeds is high so its very light while manoevering and parking.

Alex you have a pm.
