New front subframe

[The Mighty Quinn]

I've read on Rimmers that the new front subframes that are currently available (KGB000311, in my case) are a little different than those on the earlier or mark 1 cars. Apparently, a different power steering hose is required.. Part no. QEH000960 (which is no longer available).

So, is it just a matter of sourcing a decent second hand power steering hose from a later car, and everything else will fit ok?

(Running a 1.8T auto if that makes any difference).


Cheers,
Karl.

Just find a company that does copies. I have for various pipes . Had one made to a better standard for my power washer when that pipe developed a split in it.
