Hello guys, I have a beautiful example of Lupo 3L
converted to manual and fitted with climatronic
and central locking, remapped to 85bhp and goes like a rocket... I have spent a fortune on all new original shocks, engine mounts etc...It doesn’t have power steering. My wife has difficulty driving it because of it, and I am hesitant to sell it... Now that it’s a manual, would it be possible to retrofit a power steering system from a 1.4Tdi? I think it is, but I am not sure about all the parts that I would need, and how to mount the pump? As I understand, I have no mounting place for it! I saw these on You Tube, but no procedure on how to do it.
Any help appreciated! Thanks!

Re: Lupo 3L powersteering retrofit
Afaik it is possible to swap in a steering motor from a 1.2TDi which gets mounted to the steering column. Needs a different column with the mountings too. 3L never came with hydraulic power steering due to the higher fuel consumption of the latter.
