things i would check is oil level, maybe even flush it out first, could be the pump itself but that would normally cos a groaning noise, also check ur hicas computer plug connector/wiring, there is also a solenoid on the rack which has a power going to it which is sent and controlled by the hicas computer depending on vehicle speed. If there is no power to that solenoid then ur steering will be pretty heavy with minimal power assist. How hard is the steering like as if the engine is switched off??

Im having this exact same problem atm, its happening more and more frequently and Im now getting a louder and louder tapping or knocking noise from somewhere under the bonnet which sounds real sick. Mechanic I went to see said possibly power steering motor on the way out?? I a new one expensive??

mate had the exact problem turns out its a blown capacitor in the hicas computer in the boot. get another computer and it should fix it
