    Can PS racks be rebuilt?

    Long time no post,

    My MK2's PS rack has developed an interesting problem.
    If I take the car for an 'extended' drive, the PS fluid level gets low, pump start whining.

    After looking into it, the boots on the PS rack become "inflated" with oil, like a balloon.
    So I guess the seal's in the rack are dead.

    Any one here had luck with rebuilding VW racks? or should I just buy a new one?

    HAHAHA

    I think vwheritage carry rebuild kit but it's not cheap. I've heard ppl can use a ps rack from mk3 but they need to swap the unijoint over as well.

    I've had supposedly unrebuildable T4 Transporter racks done in the past. No reason why a Mk2 one couldn't be done.

    Let me know if you want a spare rack. Still got one on the MK2 I'm wrecking.

    Cheers
