Thank you Sandy love your channel, love how you just show it as it is whether you fixed it or not. Repaired my 1.2 engine with your videos from the timing chain of the polo you fixed. Keep it up!
Perfect, had same problem, got the same scanner, also our launch won't work on it either. Used the snap on, coded and works Perfect. Thanks for uploading this, really appreciate it
Hi sandy, would you know if that code would work on a seat 1.2 tdi ibiza I have the same fault code and warning on dash(power steering works) i have the same code on my pump ecu after replacing it a while ago
hi sandy, i currently have a seat toledo 2013 with the same power steering vag number: 6R0 423 156 C COMPONENT lenkhilfe TRW V278, apparently i dont have power steering but i dont have any warning light on the dash, i will test if with that code 11250 my pump, if it does not work I think it is a failure in my steering pump.
Do i need to replace my pump or not? car has had a knock and i keep getting this code 01309 which points to my “Power Steering Control Module (J500)”. All the damage i see is that one wire is missing do i replace the wire or the whole unit
I have the same issue. My car is a Polo E 6N. 2009. I have had the pump changed but I think it needs to be coded as light still comes up and goes. Is there a garage near glasgow that can do this for me please? I dont have Snap-On or any other tool. cheers
Hi, i hope you can help me please. I have 2013 Polo TDI and the power steering pump failed, Fitted new pump and I have this exact same issue, intermittent power steering and the Same as yourself it is easier one way than the other. I have replaced what I thought was the G250 sensor behind the steering wheel with no luck. I do not have orignal power steering pump. I have the same snap on diag machine as yourself so If I ECU code using the one Myles provided it should sort it? Thank you very much
Hi sandy, I was in a crash last week and in the process my power steering pump reservoir was cracked and leaking oil. I drove it for a few days with ease but the pump was whining a lot. I bought a second hand pump and my mechanic fitted it, it then blew the fuse. He thought it was a dodgy pump so we got another second hand one and another few. It also blew the replacement fuse, do you know what could be the problem? Does the steering need to be recoded to this new one and since it hasn’t it is blowing the fuse? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Jordan from Aberdeen
Hi Jordan Fae Aberdeen!! Disconnect pump, replace fuse, ignition on does it blow? Manipulate wires still with pump unplugged ign on does it touch a body earth inspect wire harness? Tell me how u get on cheers sandy
Thanks when TRW technical(the Pump supplier) could not help we too put the 11250 code into 2014 Seat Ibiza.It worked, was it luck or does that work on all pumps?Not worried now as fault code cleared.RESULT!
Great result Sandy , new cars are a pain in the arse, worth buying VCDS , I bought mine from Australia on line , works great on VW Audi etc , also does OBD functions , cost less than £100 delivered , with the upgraded version , caliper reset for rear pad change , total car diagnostics.com , arrived quickly from them , similar to Ross tech , not cheap one off eBay/Amazon
I can cofirm that this code also works on SEATs - it sorted my 2014 Ibiza this morning. The garageman charged me €20. The main dealer quoted me €1195, claiming he had to replace the steering rack.
@@mattywilson1 Yes, it worked for me. Once the pump was replaced, the dashboard amber light appeared (it wasn't there on the original pump failure), the steering was much improved, though the 'city driving' lightweight feel was not working. I drove the car for 10 months like that, until I found Sandy's post.Once the code was applied, the warning light cleared and the light steering was restored. The guy I used had a Snap-On (Zeus model). All is now working perfectly 3 months later!
Sandy where are you located? I've just swapped out a power steering pump and think I've got the same issue. Can bring the car to you if you're close to me 👍🏻 2010 Seat Ibiza 1.4
Hello Jas0241, I am located in glasgow as well and I have swapped the pump as well just like you and im getting the same issue. Can you please tell me a garage where I can get this sorted out? Where did you get yours fixed from? Cheers
@@sandyande yeah it comes as 00816 - Power Steering Sensor (G250) 29-00 - Short to Ground. It used to say open or short to plus but now it says short to ground. This is using VCDS lite.
Hey i have the same error on 2002 polo 1.4, i havent replaced anything but the light comes sometimes. Can i try the same thing like in the video or it is too old?
@@zzzyo2855 I replaced the sensor and it came back after a few weeks. Turns out my steering rack was shot and the seals were leaking which was allowing water to seep in and short out the sensor. So check that as well before you replace the pump too.
Thanks for sharing, 25 years as a mechanic and studied things like this can still drive you mad 👍
Cheers Richard their designed to descend us into madness LOL cheers sandy

Hi, got a 2010 polo, same engine code and exact same symptoms and fault code, would this fix work on a 2010? Thanks
Too job mate 👍👍👍
Cheers Mate, Sandy
hello does your direction has a problem or you do that only because you have a code on your dashboard?

i believe the g250 sensor is located just above the steering rack. Not behind the steering wheel.

Did you replaced with a new after market steering pump TRW or original VW AG TRW?
Great result Sandy , new cars are a pain in the arse, worth buying VCDS , I bought mine from Australia on line , works great on VW Audi etc , also does OBD functions , cost less than £100 delivered , with the upgraded version , caliper reset for rear pad change , total car diagnostics.com , arrived quickly from them , similar to Ross tech , not cheap one off eBay/Amazon
Cheers I'll check that out, Sandy

I have this same fault code on my seat ibiza 2014 (00816- Power steering sensor). Can you confirm that this code will turn that light off?

Sorry, but am based in Ireland and have no contacts in Glasgow
Sandy where are you located? I've just swapped out a power steering pump and think I've got the same issue. Can bring the car to you if you're close to me 👍🏻

Hi best idea is just find garage with snap on machine or vcds and they could code it cheers sandy
@@sandyande no worries, if you were in Glasgow area I'd come and see you.
Will have a look locally 👍🏻

In the same situation with my 2013 1.2 tdi fabia, replaced pump but dont have a snapon scanner or vcds to code the new one in..haha
Get one for your Christmas 🎄
@@sandyande i dont think any of my family or friends would go for that, but you never know,🤣😄
Is that code for all 6r polos or any ideas were it is plz??
2011 also thanks 🙏🏼🤞🏽
Sorry no Idea cheers sandy
Hi I was wondering if anyone could have me with a code for a seat ibiza 2011 eco se copa 1.2 diesel
Whats up , give me some more info
2003 polo with the same error, expect it says G250 sensor open or short to plus. Any ideas?
Did u do code scan?
@@sandyande yeah it comes as 00816 - Power Steering Sensor (G250) 29-00 - Short to Ground. It used to say open or short to plus but now it says short to ground. This is using VCDS lite.
It maybe the actual sensor is kaput think it's on steering shaft or it just needs coded properly
Hey i have the same error on 2002 polo 1.4, i havent replaced anything but the light comes sometimes. Can i try the same thing like in the video or it is too old?
