have a a3 8p 2.0 tdi 2003/4. my batt died and as it was an old batt i decided to change it but ever since this i have had a fault with powersteering. turn on ignition beep beep beep red light power steering light comes on drive it for 10 20 min turns off and i have power steering again (YAY) . when i then turn the ignition off and back on within about half hour still works if i leave it for about an hour and start it up i get beep beep beep and it does not work again
first i thought it was my alarm running the batt flat but managed to stop the alarm going off and it is still happening.
i have read lots on this and most say need a new rack i cant afford a new rack and reprogram and how can this happen from just changing the batt.
i know it has been posted before but i cant belive it has gone faulty by changing the batt any help would be much appreciated.
this is my first car and have out alot of work into it and it still has a long way to go
thanks in advance
