How to add power steering to a 1985 2.5d

how do you add power steering ?? is it hard and expensive ?? Help please

you should be able to pick up the parts via eblag, most early 90 turbo's had power steering that will bolt onto your engine to give you the pump and belt set up, just need a steering box and the pipes then

ebay

Ebay, autojumbles, dismantlers & dealers. Just make sure you get a complete take-off kit of steering-box, pump, pump bracket, bottom pully, resevoir & pipework, try not to buy the parts separately as you will probably end up paying more (pump-bracket & pully are sometimes missing). You will also need PAS fluid & a new belt. Should be able to get a complete, good working kit for under £200.

Easy enough to do. the worst part is usually just getting the crankshaft bolt out to replace the bottom pully if you don't have a crankshaft locking tool (I have so an easy job for me). Single person working on the driveway should see it all complete in about 4-hours as long as you have all the parts to hand. A manual will show you how it all goes together and how to bleed the system.
