Welcome back Did your model / engine come with PAS as standard? If so I guess it'd just be a case of swapping over the rack and pump, and doing some pulley swappage. If it never came with PAS, I'd be tempted to think it's too much of a PITA to bother with personally

iirc,the bottom half of the column is different too.it *should*be possible,best to buy a scapper,rear end shunt or similar then you'll have all the bits.35i passats are pricey so may just pay you you buy one with pas ;D

the 35i was available with PAS - in fact everyone ive seen apart from mine has PAS...
35i passats are pricey? is there a market for them then? i bought mine cos it was cheap and offered about as solid a build as you can get for £900 - and easy to work on too.
if it works out not to be worth it - it will be for sale to fund a polo saloon.
so if anyone is intersted let me know and i post some details.
Paulos.

it can't be that hard, with a bit of research. you may or may not need pas pump and mounting brackets crank pulley rack and pipe work resivoir and mounts rack mounts lower column belt oil can't think of much else you could need I converted a mk2 cavvy in a day easy, with no prior experience
