Maybe save doing that for later, I can't see that the reading codes with an "older" scan tool would have ended up recoding that pump. Recoding does take some effort just in case the user has made a mistake.
thanks dm222, for the coding numbers to check, as I am new to using the vcds software could you please give me a step by step guide as it would be very much appreciated ( a bit scared of mucking it up altogether) as I do have power steering but it just doesn,t feel right the warning light will not go off. every days a school day and all that.
do you have any ideas why it is flagging up G250 and not G85 as it should be. cheers.

Many thanks to dm222, I put in the coding for the G85 sensor as above and he-presto the steering wheel warning lamp has gone.
The next problem I find myself with is the radio is completely dead not even lighting up I checked the coding for the radio and it is all zeros, could you please help me out once more by providing me with the vcds software coding not the security code I have that .for the standard radio in a 2012 Ibiza fr . cheers .and thanks again.

Hi all, resurrecting a couple of month old thread, as it's seemed more appropriate than starting a new one.
My power steering has stopped working, I've had it diagnosed and also looked into myself, and I'm fairly certain the pump has gone.
It's a 2007 1.2 3door 6L, the part number on the original part on the car is 6Q0423156AB. A lot of the second hand and reconditioned parts have fundamentally the same part number, but start with 6R (rather than 6Q) and finish with B or C (rather than AB).
Does anyone know if these parts will still fit and work on my car?
Any help would be much appreciated, don't really fancy paying for a new part!

Personally, I'd be very suspicious of fitted any 6R0 identified parts to your car - that is unless you have researched this and made very sure that they are okay to use.
There is an outside chance that some design changes have been made to what was originally a 6Q0 identified part - and the first platform it was used on in factory was the 6R0 platform, ie early "new" Polo - I have seen this in the past where or when I owned a 2000 VW Passat 4Motion and the front flexible brake pipes were updated after that car went out of production, but Skoda were still building the Superb, in that case the first part of the part identifier became whatever the Skoda Superb platform was. So it can happen and be okay, but research it first, maybe look up an on-line VAG parts catalogue for proof of compatibility - bear in mind, if that part is okay, you should not be able to buy the 6Q0 parts new from a dealer. There are "rebuilders" or "remanufacturers" of these assembles available and on-line, if you can afford to have the car off the road for a few days.
If in real doubt, phone your local SEAT main dealer's parts department to clear that up.
Edit:- as well as clearing up your doubt about the suffix's available.

6R seems to replaced the 6Q, but I don't put my hands on the fire for it.

Yes, I've just been checking up on that "6Q0" stopped being used in late 2007 and so changed to "6R0" - so it is just down to checking the suffix's A B C etc.
Edit:- from the links above it went from A to B to C and the change dates and so the rough age of parts can be gauged from the factory change dates,

RUM4MO: The suffixs are revisions, in total there are around 20 revisions of this pump.
6Q0423156AB -> 6Q0423156AE -> 6R0423156->6R0423156A -> 6R0423156B -> 6R0423156C
My car has now the C version.
Oli: You will probably need to code the new pump, save the coding of your old pump before removing and apply that coding on the new pump.

Yes I worked that out from the "change" dates and the fact that the later ones claimed to be suitable alternatives.
I have had a similar problem.
Earlier this week came back from Nottingham. Parked car outside house.
1 hr later started car up, power steering light came, no power steering. Managed to park on drive.
Bloody hard steering with no power steering !!!!
3 hrs later went out to car and started it up, power steering light had gone. Turned steering wheel, powering steering working.
Will not drive it until it has been checked.
Any ideas what happened ?
