My vw polo 1,4l 2008 model, has the power steering warning light on and the steering wheel itself is very hard to steer. i checked the power steering transmission oil is at a required level. i suspected it is an electrical problem because this problem followed on numerous electrical faults which included speedometer reading failure and the hand break warning lights switching on and off. i just wanna be sure the problem is not electrical before i purchase a power steering pump.
I would have the power steering system tested, it is a possible steering rack issue.

Red this article:
Eventhough the level is right, the fluid might need replacing (every 3~5 years and 50.000-100.000 miles).

If its the electronic unit,check the main fuses near the battery,also check the wiring connectors at the powersteering pump for loose or corroded plugs.If alls ok,you will need a diagnostic machine to read out what trouble codes are in the units memory.good luck.
