Hydraulic to electric power steering on Polo Vivo
Hi gents. I drive a Polo vivo 2011. I have had issues with my hydraulic power steering rack and was wondering if someone has tried converting it to electric power steering.If so how do i do it and how do i wire it up.

Re: Hydraulic to electric power steering on Polo Vivo
Cost factor between electric Vs hydraulic is gonna be big.
Why would u wanna do that?
Electric is better while it's working, terribly expensive to repair.
Personally I would rather convert from electric to hydraulic. Lol

When a car tailgates me, i slow down - then floor it and give them a cloud of diesel smoke to choke on

My understanding is that a lot of feel is lost on electric power steering anyway.
