I've just "upgraded" my LHD T3 syncro from standard steering to power steering, but when fitting it I've come across a problem. I bought the kit from ebay (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWNX:IT).

However the power steering 'steering arm' (the bit from the box to the rack) doesn't fit - it's too long at around 70cm, and needs to be around 63cm. Is this a difference between syncro and 2wd (assuming the kit came from a 2wd van)? My option at the moment is to shorten the arm, but ideally would like one that would fit - if anyone has one?

Yes - I believe there is a syncro specific version of this part.
Probably a bit like hens teeth to find one

That's what I'd feared... still if Ayrton Senna's welded his steering arm, no reason not too....

Jeremy.

According to vagcat, the syncro has an A code at the end of the part number; 251422753A as opposed to just numers on the 2wd van part
(if I'm looking at the right it ) Cant get any specifics on size of it though, sorry, but I'm sure someone will have a more helpful answer

Chillia - thanks for the link.

Power steering now fitted and working - and it's the best thing ever! (Thanks to T25direct for his help - and Lewis for doing the hard graft and fitting it for me). It's transformed the van - and makes parking so much easier. Only disadvantage is that I won't be looking like Charles Atlas after driving for a while.

Next problem to sort out is the speedo/lack of apparent 4wd ..... (the list is long....)
