[Mk2] [Turbo] Adjustable Steering Column

Post by pekwah1 »

Hi guys,

Just a quick one,
Should all rev2 turbos have adjustable steering columns?
I'm refferring to in/out and up/down.
My one only seems to go in and out, but i want it to go up and down!

Cheers,
Andy

i believe they all go up and down but not all come out / in. Lever for up down is on the same side as wiper stalk, just at the back I think (shows you last time I used it :oops: )

Well that's weird as mine only seems to want to go in and out, won't go up and down.
Is it a different lever for in/out and up/down?

How do you get it to go in and out? Is it the same lever as for up and down?

Think mine only goes up and down

most imports i have stripped have up and down an in and out steering column.

One says tilt for up and down and behind that one there is a lever which you pull up which moves it in and out.

PM claw2k and he has 1 that im stripping for him right now. Very easy to change over, thats if you want one

Most MK2s only go up and down. I've only seen in and out on earlier MK2s and even then not all of them (G-Limited IIRC). And yes, it's a seperate lever - you'll find on the cars that don't have it that there is a push-out blank on the left hand side of the steering column.

I can only presume it was an option!
