Hi there

 

So I bought a 2004 9N Polo with a P/S issue a little while ago.

Steering is constantly stiff and the amber warning light is always on.

Probably unrelated but the ABS light is on too (Code reader says front right sensor)

 

The previous owner advised they had already changed the electro hydraulic pump however this hadn't fixed it. 

Since getting the car I bought a code reader and it showed an error for the Power Steering Module and the Steering Angle Sensor.

I replaced the Steering Angle Sensor and that code hasn't returned thankfully but still the same issue with the steering.

I've done a little research and it seems the Power Steering Module (2nd fault code) is in the bottom of the pump unit (if someone could confirm?) so I've ordered another in case the one the previous owner got was no good anyway.

I've also tried a bleeding method that is in the Haynes manual which doesn't seem to have worked either.

 

If this doesn't work does anyone have any advice? After this I'll be pretty stumped.

 

Many thanks 

Zack

hi 

I have similar problem and can not find the reason for it ,

 

thanks in advance for any help 

UPDATE

The new pump unit didn't work. Anyone got any ideas? I've got the following codes..

Cheers

BUMP

 

Any thoughts? Greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks :)

UPDATE

 

The codes are completely cleared now however the light is still on and I still have no P/S?!

 

When you turn ignition on there is no light however when the engine is started the light comes back and there is no P/S. However when I plug my code reader in it comes back as clear and no faults.

 

Anyone know what I might be missing? Perhaps a reset procedure?

 

Many thanks 

I would try it with VCDS as it will give you more options to see what is going on with the measuring blocks function

Ahh ok cheers Nige, I don't have VCDS so probably worth speaking to a garage for that then. Anyone got any other thoughts whilst I organise that?

 

Thanks again
