Clio 172 fit electric rack or column

[Dan2904]

What's the difference am I right in thinking there's a electric
rack and an electric column.

Witch can I fit to 172 column with manual rack
or electric rack with std column.

Would appreciate the help

Thanks guys

*electric column with manual rack or
std column with electric rack*

Im not aware of any particuarly easy retro fit that goes straight onto a 172 sadly.

A corsa column would be a good one to use though if you were ok to do the fabrication to fit.

I have def seen on here somewhere about using dci rack
wich is electric but then I saw that they also do an
electric colomn so kinda got me stumped.
Strait swap without to much hassle would be nice
Otherwise I may have to go down that route .
Thanks mate

172 / 182: PAS-rack and manual column
Non sport/DCI: manual rack and electric PAS column

When binning PAS on a 1*2 you use the manual column and rack combined.

Doesn't sound like he wants a manual conversion mate, he wants electric pas.

yea manual rack and column would be to heavy i think, got 205 40 17s nd -camber its fairly heavy already plus the miss's has got to drive it occasionally
she would have no chance parking it..
if i could get the electric pas on would be ideal.

Converting to electric PAS is possible. You'll need the electric coloumn and a rack from a non-sport as these have a steering angle/torque sensor. Then you'll need the EPAS ECU and wiring and adapt that into your existing loom (ignition, power, mass and speed signal afaik). Personally i wouldn't go for the EPAS (got it on my 1.2 16v) as it's too light and inresponsive for my liking.

whats this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-C...CarParts_SM&hash=item27ca4be6ce#ht_830wt_1270 would this make it easyer..

If its like the one I used to retrofit a Corsa column it allows you to vary the assistance.

 

[Dan2904]

so i would get this, a epas column and manual rack and job done..

dci rack have only two holes for mounting - or i miss some parts?

 

[mr.pink87]

Nope. But they fit the 1*2 subframe fine.

I'm a little bit worry to lose rack on fast corner.

 

[mr.pink87]

Don't worry.
