Adding power steering to mk3 Golf

Post by theunis.visser »

Was wondering what all is needed to add power steering to a mk3 Golf that was built without it?

From what I understand only from 97 was it standard kit?

Everything should mount in just fine, as long as you have all the parts you require. Also for the pump you need the right alternator bracket which has the accomodation for the pump, so any Mk3/Polo 6n bracket
