power steering pump relocation

[Dave 04]

Hey, guys I know on any mk4 Jettas of golfs or beetles the gas versions the power steering pump is usually on the bottom where the compressor would be, I deleted the ac in my 2003 Jetta tdi for reasons and I have a fatter aluminum radiator and intercooler. Whenever I bolt on the core support to tighten it, the hardline on the power steering line starts going into the fan shroud halfway into bolting the core support onto the car. Has anyone tried relocating the power steering pump to where the ac compressor would be, let me know your thoughts, it’s either that or imma have to go to a shop that can make me a custom power steering line that is flexible so it won’t rub or dent into the fan shroud or radiator.

not really remember 2003 is an alh

I think his point was that the line coming off the PS pump is different on the BEW; maybe getting one of those and seeing if it can be routed to your liking is a solution.

What does that mean

It means do it how Al Franken would.

but really, putting together parts from different motors in a way that works. Like what Frankenstein did with body parts.

Curious as to why you have a thicker radiator. It’s not like the stocker is short on cooling capacity.

So the ac delete is what delete pulley? I'm guessing you have a front mount intercooler? I have pd alh and 2.slow and 1.8t in the yard i could investigate the differences. If its just the line convert it somehow. Sounds like some fun with math

VWs are often like legos.
A part from one model will often swap to another.
