Are these results pointing to (hopefully ) the pump itself ?

That does point to the pump, though have a good check of all the fuses both inside the car and in the engine bay before you go replacing it.

The Air con error is possibly because there is low refrigerant

Cheers Alex .I`ve checked every fuse in car and on top of battery ,all fine ,even the strip fuses .

Ebay have used pumps with same part number for £60 ish .It looks an ok job to change the pump so if I can get one with a 30 day warranty it may be worth a punt compared to a recon unit .

Regarding the AC ,its never worked .

Car is now back on the road .
After considering a recon pump I found a guaranteed working used pump for £45 .All fitted ,fresh fluid and it seems fine ,no PAS light on dash and steering feels lighter .
I did a full scan and got 1 new code - 44 00816 power steering sensor (G250)
37-10 Faulty Intermittent

The existing codes relating to J500 all cleared .

Could this code be from having the sensor unplugged from pump and rack at certain times I`ve been trying to fix the problem ?
I`ve cleared codes and will scan later to see if that code returns .

Thanks for all advice /info given , its helped a lot .Cheers .

All you can do is check the fault log now and again, could be that there is a problem with the sensor or its wiring, time will tell.

Hi NoFeeling,

What happened in the end regarding your intermittent power steering problem? I have s similar one, and the garage wants to replace the power steering unit, which would cost more than my car is worth.

A 2nd hand pump sorted it , still going strong 6 years later .
