power steering rack part number?

**Crasher** · 19-04-2017,06:05 PM

Eddie, your car has a Gen2 rack, part number 1K2 423 055 C so you wouldn’t fit a GEN1, part numbers 1K2 423 051 CG, CH, CJ, CK or fit one earlier than yours so look for 1K2 423 055 C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K or L but J, K and L are GEN3.

Hi again,

I decided to give it a scan with my VCDS regarding the problem. 2 faults came out. No suprise there.

Address 44: Steering Assist Labels: 1Kx-909-14x-44.clb
Part No: 1K2 909 144 J
Component: EPS_ZFLS Kl.5 D04 1606
Shop #: WSC 00000 000 00000
VCID: 3365447B527706A690-8066

2 Faults Found:
00003 - Control Module
014 - Defective
00778 - Steering Angle Sensor (G85)
000 - - - Intermittent

I cleared the code and something funny happened. The red steering warning light disappeared like it's supposed to, and the power steering works like a charm again! I have yet to give it a drive but the steering wheel turns fine from end to end in the parking lot. Does it mean it still needs to be replaced or it's just working intermittently before it decides to go belly up again?

The fault will probaly come back.

**EddieLow23** · 24-04-2017,02:19 PM

Is it safe to say that the steering box is the culprit?

**Crasher** · 24-04-2017,04:52 PM

The controller and angle sender are inside the rack.

Your car has a late GEN2 rack and so is probably 1K2 423 055 E or possibly F but the next step is GEN3 and that means using the conversion harness. The best way to know what is in there is with a code read but doing the job with an exchange Bosch rack means not having to search high and low and compromise the job.

If my car was fitted with a 1K2423055e and I fitted it with the F varient, would this affect it in anyway?

Not as far as I can work out from the VIN breaks and part number supersession dates as the last GEN2 rack was the F BUT as I said, I have never done this and never would.
