Yes, I'll have to replace the front steering gear as well. It's on its way and I'll do it soon to get rid of the old steering gear.
Now it's still leaking a bit of oil that is caught in a plastic bag. Not the most ideal solution I suppose.
I think the Polo Sedan nowadays has the electromechanical system as well by the way.
They come with a 6RF system or 1S (VW Up!) system.
i.e.

The feeling is rather different and I must say, and maybe it's a placebo effect, that it's better.
It feels a lot more direct and it's nice to be able to set the power steering in 20% steps.
I now have it on 'dynamic' opposed to comfort and 80% so it feels a bit heavier. This makes it feel a bit more prone to feedback.
I don't feel like it's a world of difference, but it's a nice additon.
Hi iichel,
You have done so many mods about which i dream. Great work.
I have skoda rapid indian version. Which is just an rebadged polo sedan. It has electro mechanical steering, manual ac and only driver side airbag.
How can we set 20% step for power steeeing?
Also i am trying to install climatronic in my car. My mechanic friend have another same car with climateonic which he is scrapping. I had planned to swap entire wiring harness from that car to my car. But now its not possible. That wiring harness is missing some wiring coonecting to engine, someone stolen it. Can i retrofit climatronic without changing full wiring harness?. That scrap car has all the parts related to climatrnic also has wiring related to climatronic which i can use
.
One purpose was changing wiring harness was to get passenger airbag installed. Few days back i had one full wiring harness in which i tried to figure out connection from aibag module to second airbag. I saw few airbag wires going into engine bay also, But didnt found how, why and from where these wires was going. So left the thought of making wiring for passenger airbag. I have already bought airbag module which supports passenger airbag.
