New to the mk1 but not to vw
Currently have a vr6 corrado and an audi a4 s line which will be forsale if the misses gets on with the cabby. She is struggling with the steering, which brings me nicely on to my first question

Wow what a friendly bunch :dontknow:
Give'em time. It's working hours.
A few Mk 1 Cabriolets had power steering, but it's very uncommon; possible to retrofit some solutions (the electric assistance solution using a modified Corsa rack seems quite sensible).

as for your power steering question..
Power steering was an option where vw sent the car off to have the steering off to a 3rd party to have it added.. there is no aftermarket kit supplied in Right hand drive mk1s from vw..
if you search the forum people have made their own from a nissan bluebird steering rack among others….. just do search for power steering and have a browse… hope this helps
cheers

Just phone the fella and no answer, we have been looking at the rivages and we kind of dont want another navy car as our last 3 were and is lol. But that is perfect in every way so thanks for the link, lets hope that is power steering.

them wheels are not original, but I like em 8); probably need a new hood too.. mine cost £400 fitted

That is true, he is saaying how original the car is lol. So did your mate look at it?
I have also just looked up some info about fitting power steering, which would cost an arm and a leg so I think it would have to already have it.
