this is my first gti 138 and the power steering feels quite heavy compared to other cars ive had can anyone give a rough idea on roughly how heavy this should be as ive read that they are a bit heavier for handling purposes ta.

yeah they are pretty heavy, if there's no abnormal noises coming from the pump then its fine, just keep an eye on the level tho

Electric pump from a Saxo makes the steering a bit lighter...but would also need a few other things changing to fit it.
