Angle Sensor
- Thread starter viper911
- Start date
Like dm222 says, no one removes bits without logging which way round they were fitted originally - which, I'd expect is why no one remembers right now!
Hope this helps.
Took it from ebay uk

Believe it or not I took this out about 2 years ago I took a photo of it when I did it but since then the phone I used got broke. Its a 2007 Ibiza that never got used. Its done a total of 12000miles hasn't had its first MOT yet and with it stood since late 2008 everything seems to of packed up. New battery was put on it, someone came round with the diagnostics gear and said the power steering pump wasn't working. So got hold of another pump taken off a running car and tried the sensor after reading on this forum. Bloody thing still doesn't work.
Looking for a cheap fix or its getting scrapped.

if you had VCDS it would be much easier to diagnose.
but we can reach some conclusions without it.
if the steering with engine running is as stiff as when the car is turned off then you have either a power supply problem or steering pump problem.
if the dash light is ilumminated but you still have some assistance but not has much as it would be normal then the steering angle sensor could be to blame or the new pump code since you need to code if it uses the G85 or G250 sensor.
regarding the power supply problem:
- check fuses above the battery
- check battery voltage when engine is running, should be 14V or close
- check if battery light appears when engine is turned off disappears when the engine is running
---------- if it not appears with the engine stopped then you have a load wire problem
----------- if it doesn't disappear with engine running then you have an alternator problem
- make sure the battery is fully charged.
- if all the above is good check if you can see some wiring damage, or corrosion in the earth wire of the steering pump.

that'll keep me busy for a while. Thanks for that its appreciated. I di get someone to put the diagnostics on it and he said straight away the pumps not working, if it needed coding would that not of shown up on his machine? I'll investigate further and let you know

Always worth mentioning it.
I know people who've have replaced a 'bad' battery with one they've taken out the scrap yard
