Hello,
Got an issue with a 2011 Seat Ibiza 1.6 diesel.
This car was purchased at auction and had no power steering. The light was on. Further inspection and one of the power steering pipes was missing or half of it was.
I replaced the pipe but made no difference. I checked the fuses and also power going to the plug so I then replaced the pump. At the same time I was breaking a 1.2 Petrol Seat Ibiza and the pump it had shared the same numbers so this was a straight swap.
Now, the light has went off, there are no codes but steering is still tight. When I jack both wheels off the ground I can freely move the wheels by hand. There is no nothing or tough spots which to me shows the rack is okay. I can also hear the pump working when I move the wheels by hand.
Once lowered to the ground under pressure the steering is tight again. Any help appreciated
