Replacing the Power Steering on Volkswagen Polo

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 5, Polo V, MK 5, MK V, 6R - Years 2009-2017

Remove the front left wheel and the corresponding wheel arch liner. Unscrew the high-pressure feed pipe using a 17mm spanner, then slide the clamp off the low-pressure rubber pipe and remove that as well. Once the pipes are disconnected, collect the oil that comes out of the pump in a container. Remove the snap-on trim from the bumper, then disconnect the three cables by pushing the connector with a flathead screwdriver. Now, finally, unscrew the three 10mm nuts that hold the power steering motor, then the three 13mm screws that secure the bracket. Continue to follow the video until the end of the procedure.
