Great instructional video. I will have to replace my rack ASAP, I was very frustrated today as it began leaking badly with no previous signs of weeping or any fluid loss. Your video was very helpful, and there seems to be something about your vocabulary and accent that is very calming and reassuring. Thanks for sharing! Subscribed.

Used this video to help change my steering rack on a VW Bora, twice! Thanks!

Absolutely clearly shows what you have to do in few steps ! Excellent mate, well done and thank u with that helpful video

Thanks for the help, geezer....took me a bit longer as getting a decent second-hand rack took some searching out, and even new washer/joints for the rack fluid banjos proved a headache in the backwater where I live, but did get it done. Raising a glass to you now, cheers!

Great tutorial, saved me lots of effort. Works pretty much 1:1 on 2004 Leon.

Always enjoy your videos as they are clear and thorough. Thanks for helping the vw community. Cheers.

Just removed and fitted my new steering rack yesterday/today. This video was a massive help. Thanks bud. Subscribed ;) Pump is done though, but it was an easy removal :)

Cheers Boyd I'm going to give my a go now 👍🏻 Make life much easier when you've seen it done thanks and keep up the great vids 🙌🏼👏🏼

Thanks for the video man. Definatly going to view it again for reference when I replace my steering rack in the coming months!

Thanks for the video. I do this stuff for a living, but I hardly work on any European cars, so your videos are a great help.

Thank you, I am doing mine today afternoon on Fabia mk1. You helped me.

Hey boydie Done mine today following your video 😊 3hrs completed!! Well pleased thanks for the guide 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you for putting this online. Really helped me out a lot. Greetings from Germany

Great video! So far the best video on mk IV i've seen!

Wow ur vids still blow my mind today, had a new rack in my shed for a year cus I didn't think this was possible without pullin engine as Haynes manual seggests. Top advice man :)

I have used your video to change my steering gear in golf mk4, great - thanks. Greetings from bavaria. Intersting was your british dialekt :-).

Great video, I'll be tackling this tomorrow on my Audi S3 8L tomorrow and this one of the best I've seen. Keep up the good work

That's a top video brother. Concise. I'll do mine this week. Very grateful.

This video is amazing. Helped me replace my steering rack in 3 hours. Thanks a million and keep up the great work!

A really great help mate Excellent step by step guide. Good effort!

thanks for the help. .good to see it being done under the same "non garage" sercomstances l have to use. .done my son's today using your advice but the track rod ends had "welded" themselves on

Man your guide rocks, nice and clear, top man highly recommended!

Awsome video good descriptive and right to the point thanks made my life so easy.specially love the fact you mention the sizes of the bolts.saved time figuring out wich sockets to use.thanks

Great vídeo. Thanks from México

Really helpful videos bmac you have saved me £100's of pounds in garage labour.

great video guide got no fear of tackling it on my own now thanks for great vid 👍

The rattle gun is a godsend, but so is your video. Little trick for those with a lot of rust and a seized tie rod. Pull the rod upwards with one hand, and give the knuckle some big whacks with a big hammer. Never hammer the rod itself, unless it comes loose very easily like in the video.

I've watched a lot of your videos man, great work! They've come in very helpful at times..

So straight forward, love to see it, thank you.

Brilliant as always. Thanks.

Once again, you make it look easy dude! Good video.

Think almost every job I do on my car I watch one off your vids always help me out best mk 4 vids on u tube bud thanks

Thanks for your videos m8... a few of your videos helped me through a few things!

Very Helpful. Thank you!

BEST AND MOST HELPFUL DEMONSTRATION ON KZfaq. THANK YOU VERY MUCH

I must tell you, this is a great video! You have a positive attitude and the instructions were smack dab on! I used my "RATTLE GUN!" Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thx frajeru! Frajer in Cro minds a king

Nice work!

Be doing this repair on our 2001 VW beetle pretty soon. It's been weeping out fluid for a while now. Not horrible yet-But it's getting there. First noticed it when I replaced the inner tie rod end about 8 months ago. Pulled the bellows/boot off and got a handful of PS oil for my effort. We might do the subframe replacement and control arm (RF) at the same time. Nailed a pot hole or something and the subframe and control arm are bent inwards. I still think it was a speed bump gone bad.

10 years and I needed this how to vid thank you

Excellent video bro. You explain everything nice and clearly. One of if not the best video I've ever seen on here. Well done and most of all. Big thanks. Massive help thank you. !!

Great video boss. Worked great on my Beetle.

Thanks for putting together this great and informative video.

Nicely done. Thanks for the vid!

Thanks for the video! Will help me out a lot!

Excellent! Much thanks.

This video was super helpful!

Great video, thanks for your great work, you rock!

Really good clear video. I'm impressed.

Great video , thanks !!

great video buddy i wouldve been dancing to after getting the rack out so smoothly great tutorial

Very informative video. Will be getting this done today.

Love your videos! Thank you for posting!

Clear instructions thanks! Note that you should never work under a car when using just a car jack. Always use stands. Someone near had to pay that mistake with its life.

Videos are right on cause you can watch and follow along fixing your own car at the same time. Sweet deal.

Great vid thanks!! I broke a nail though......boooo But I now have power steering huray!!! thanks x

Thank you so much for your videos, this was a huge help. I saw this video years ago and knew when I needed to do this job I'd return here. Got it out with no issues. Cheers.

Awsome video ,perfect explination

thanks so much. great video

Its a nightmare when it's cold! Well done matey, good vid!

Cheers! worked a treat...

Great video!

thanks i like your golf how 2 videos very good, now i know to get my steering rack fixed at the mechanics its too hard for me!

Great job gotta do this on a vw beetle

Good helpful video, well done lad!

I have a 6 cyl Passat, and I was told I could lower the dog bone frame and not have to worry about the engine/transmission being disconnected from it. Nice video, now it's MY turn at it (wrenching not videoing;-) Ciao4Now, Brian

Gret work!

Great job. I am sure it will help me for replace my steering rack. Thanks.

I'm just taking off a rack of a Mk 5 Polo which is similar, but you make it look so easy! Unlike the crap Haynes manual and the 'minimal content' VW manual (when you can get it). Only other comment is try and use a light underneath when filming, but excellent anyway. Thanks.

Excellent dance my brother!!! Thank you so much for sharing... my Golf started leaking all the fluid out of the reservoir... but I noticed that the leak is down on the bottom... not sure if it's just and o-ring / seals that are busted or if I need to replace the whole thing.

thanks for the video. I just replaced mine on a 02 golf gl tdi. saved me lots on money. only problem is, my bottom banjo bolt is leaking. I guess it is something to do with the O-rings. do I use 2 rings on each bolt?

Well done mate, thank you for the video!

Great videos.

Thanks for the videos, i really enjoy them.

Thanks. Very good.

Thanks that helps. Cool hammer!

Great video cheers mate

Thanks mate , really helpful vid

good job brotha!

Cheers buddy doing one this weekend this will.male it anlot less hassle

Great video, made it super easy cheers buddy

Nice one, cheers, will save me some time

Cheers pal great video. 😊

Thanks man,

Can you do the subframe without taking out the rack and pinion steering? I stayed my control arms yesterday and the outer bushing on the drivers side just spins and spins in its place without loosening or moving out what so ever. Every other bolt came out no problem but it's either cut the control arm off at the subframe the use a reciprocating saw to cut through the bolts. Is there anything I can do besides all that work. Is there some kind of tool that can pull a bolt out while wiggling it back and forth. The strange thing is that the impact gun still makes abb impact sound even though out spins very easily. Any help please!

very good jobs !!! free up for more !!!

sweet nice and clear video

love your vids mate. Most car jobs look difficult til you get stuck in then you realise they are just common sense. You make stuff look easy. My only criticism (not much of one) is please show the full job putting it back together again. Ripping stuff apart is easy but putting it all back together again is the bit that sucks.

good video.....

excellent video and the radal gun saves a lot of time ..ontario crookston

ayo iv searched for time to find out how to drop the sub frame lol as i need to change the anti roll bar some nice one good loooking out

can you add power steering fluid to the rack an pinion? i have an 06 jetta 2.5 but not to sure if you can add fluid or how to add fluid if it is possible

Nice one i like all what you do you are the best in what you do. I will like if you kent do a video with throttle on a golf 4 motor 1.4 16v becouse i have a lot of problem with it

Nice video. I may have to replace my power steering rack on my VW touran, but it's electric. Would it still be largely the same as this procedure?

Did the job today and antiroll bar bushes at same time, took bout 5hrs with a crappy little jack lol.
