Hi guys,

Got a power steering leak appears to be from passenger side of steering rack. Looks to be coming through gaitor rather than pipes.

I will ring around tomorrow for prices ( probably start at Porana Power Steering )

Anyone else have any recommendations in the Glenfield area?

Cheers

All sorted.

Porana Power Steering fitted reconditioned rack, not as expensive as feared.

Worth a call if anyone gets stuck.

Sorry for the late reply.

Qualitat recommended a Guy out East Tamaki way, was looking at somewhere between $1400-1600.
Porana power steering came in just under $1200

That was for a fully reconditioned rack. Apparently the problem with these is. That the shaft rusts and rips the seals to bits.

I've got a rack here from a fairly low KM 2004 Mk4 GTI - if you want to go the second hand route PM me and we'll work something out.  :)
