Took the car to the garage today as it is leaking a bit of fluid, been told its the power steering rack The genuine Vauxhall part if £500 + fitting on top it is not worth doing. Can any advise me on sourcing a refurb / 2nd hand / alternate? The part number the mechanic got was ZF 7836 974 194. I need this pretty urgently as MOT is due next Monday, which it will fail

i have a good v6 steering rack if your interested

is the same mode number?

yes mate it is the same part number,just been out and checked the rack

have fun doing it mate i might be wroung but i think the engine, brake servo, wiper moter all have to come out so you can get in to it

I am total rubbish when it comes to cars so I am getting a professional to do it The one which found the leak said it would be about 4 hours labour, which seems about right. As with anything on the V6 it is a pig to get too

V6 is da pig?
have you tried removing intake manifold on c20xe? THAT is pig. V6 is lovely animal

This might be helpful.

Tazz sold me his old one so its all sorted now
I had a look at that one on ebay too but the part numbers did not match properly. Too risky as the mechanic needed me to be 100% sure it would fit.
