JagMate 0 Posted November 21, 2023 I'm just about to add power steering to my Mk5. It has a 2.3 I4 DOHC engine and needs something to help it at low speed. I'll endeavour to post some pics. Cheers, Malcolm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would be great if you could share as much information as possible on the installation. If I have moved on to my fit I would also share what I have found to be issues and problems TiBBs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RichardJ 58 Posted November 23, 2023 (edited) Won't this be quite a complicated mod to do in terms of setting up speed/wheel sensors etc? Most EPS uses a road speed signal to increase the assist at slow speeds and trim it back as speed increases. Having full power assistance on, even at 60+ mph, would be an "interesting" drive.
