A1 manual steering rack

[roccit_53 at scirocco.cs.uoguelph.ca (C Boyko)]

FWIW, I drove a manual Jetta for about 300 000 kms, and Klaus is manual. I
like it on a Scirocco, but the PS does get the job done faster (and the
"good" Jetta was fine too unless the tires got worn). Manual seems to fit
the MkI though, nothing to the car, so it's easy to turn regardless.
