well like the title says i got the power steering rack the pump and the bracket and the hardline but theres wires coming from the pump...whats are those? is there some way i can bypass those?and any recommendations for clearance issues with the fmic pipes besdies the 85 power steering bracket?

 

idk, , but would like to know, so i guess bump for knowledge!

 

you'll have to search more but i believe the wires mean it's s5 because they have speed sensitive power steering,

 

wires go to sensor/PS computer

If you P/S pump has 2 hoses, its vehicle speed sensitive.
If it has 3 hoses, its engine speed sensitive.

 

The S5 steering system is awful. Mine beeps at me all the time and will turn off sometimes when I push the car really hard. I can not figure out how to stop the beeping. I have taken apart the angle sensor several times and messed with it but no luck though it does not beep constantly like it use to. There is a bunch of info in the FSM but some information missing about the convertible.

 

one more reason s4 ownz :P

 

thanks is there a simple way i could bypass the power steering ecu -.-

 

Hawl that $hit out, it's useless. Manual converted racks are the way to go. Have a look in the archives at my thread.
