I bought a used steering rack from Xsara VTS. I would like to use it my gti6. The stock steering on 6 has some kind of "limiter" for the right turn. The question is - what part is that I have to use from my original rack to limit the right turn of the vts rack?

Following are service box drawings for GTI6 (left) and VTS racks (right).

Iirc it's the ram that limits the travel. Use the power steering ram off ur 6 rack and you can't go wrong! 99% I'm right but I'm sure someone will be along and correct me if I'm wrong!! LOL

Nope 100% right.
Just use the ram off you're gti6 rack. Job done enjoy a revelation in steering.

Thanks guys Smile
But my technical english is not good enough and I can not understand what you mean by ram - I guess this is part number 10 from left picture - in the service box diagram it is named power steering cylider.
Correct ? Smile

I've got a VTS rack and fitted the original Rallye ram and it works perfectly. Right hand lock is limited in the normal way.

My 6 right turn limiting Ram on top of steering rack was leaking when we removed it ...so I decided to fit VTS Mk1 2.4 rack plus VTS Ram ....I bought off (PUG-306) on here . I kept VTS Ram only because I didn't have a non leaking 6 one ....the tyre (just) catches the corner of the box with 17x40x205 .!!!!
I'm fitting 16x50x205 so a little bit bigger ....nothing to worry about...unless your going to drive at speed on full right lock ?LOL
PS ...if your renewing track rods on a VTS Mk 1 2.4 rack ....6 ones are each 11mm longer than VTS ones ...so buy 6 ones as they fit 100% ...but both inner boots are different ...if yours are cracking so you have to buy VTS ones ....as all ready said track rod ends are same Unsure

I've got all the Citroen & 6 genuine part nos if you want them ?
I've totally refurbed my VTS mk1 rack with all OE bits !!!!

PS ...6 RAM is 10mm shorter than VTS Ram which doesn't limit right lock as 6 one does ....
