Xsara VTS Steering Rack on HDI - MY95 - 25-09-2014
Anyone done this? Worth doing?

Suppose to be a quick rack, worse than the gti6. But can be done.

Well worth it but make sure you get a rack from a PH1 VTS. The PH2 is .2 of a turn more...doesnt sound a lot but does make a difference!
So i tell the missus anyway

ment to essentially be a quick rack no? depending how many less turns to turns it is id say it deffo worth it
RE: Xsara VTS Steering Rack on HDI - MY95 - 25-09-2014
Thanks lads, would it make the steering heavier and put more strain on the components and tyres due to the VTS having higher gearing and a different turn to turn?

Phase 1 VTS rack will go straight on. To fit a Phase 2 VTS, you'll need the PAS pipes too as they're unique to the rack.
I have one of each in my garage, plus the 2.4 manual rack on the 205. I would've fitted the Ph2 rack to my 306 during the overhaul but I lent the pipes to Paul_13 for his 205 and I'm not sure I can be arsed to fit it now.

shouldnt imagine it would change the heaviness of the steering atall just quicker steering
its a mod im planning on doing

If you're fitting them on a hdi you'll be able to get the pipes off a late xsara hdi, same fitment apparently.
What I'm planning on doing with a ph2 Vts rack on the hdi.
Do you want me to get you a set of those pipes Alan?

If you can (and if they are the same), but there's absolutely no rush. As I said, I can't be arsed to fanny about with the HDi now, the 205 is begging to be worked on (that's getting the Ph1 VTS rack and electric pump setup).
