well the steering would be light and there would be a power steering pump in engine bay on the bottom right hand side with fluid in there

No thats the brake fluid resevoir. The power steering fluid resevior is the one with the yellow cap on it, in front of the air filter, if you have one of those then you have power steering.

Find a car without it, turn the wheel, then you will sport the differnce easy.

The Eastcoast doesnt have power steering. It was an optional extra and unless whoever bought the car asked for it, i doubt very much you have it.

is it light when the car is still. You can't tell too much when the car is moving

it will have a resevoir for the steering fluid its on the left hand side, under the ecu on that picture anyway, mk2s are harder to find, there at the bottom of the engine but yours is a eastcoast so it dont matter lol

west coasts are a 1.4 higher spec
east coasts are a 1.1 just a jazzy trim :P
older models had a black lid for the power assisted steering
