PAS Cooling Pipe

[aussieg60]

Anyone know how important a power steering cooling pipe is in a MK2 ? Not all MK2 GTi's have them apart from Rallye, G60's and diesels ? Some one said in another forum its more of a heater than a cooler

I doubt you need it. No mk3s or SEATs have em.

According to ETKA all MK3's have them but a differnt shape pipe

Both my Golf G60 and the Passat Syncro had a pipe like that. Maybe the PS fluid gets too hot and thins out? I'd fit it if you can, If nothing else it will increase the capacity of the PS system which would help with temps.

I wanted to fit it but cant see any supports for it The stupid pipe cost me $250 and a c#$% to try and fit in front of the front mount. Reason I took this path was to move the power steering container out of the way for the 02A trans and achieve an OEM look.

I am pretty sure that it just had some 10mm headed self tapping bolts into the subframe to hold it in place. Nothing fancy. I can't think if I have seen a picture anywhere to show the mounting.
