Hi am new here need some help and advice please 

So I have MK2 2012 1.6TDI Skoda octavia 

Recently my power steering light came on and was red drove the car and when off then in the morning came back on, got the car scanned and the fault was the power steering rack so I changed the part after part was changed the light when amber got  it coded the same day as its an electronic power steering rack and the light when off and was driving fine woke up the next day after its been coded and the red light was again so today I changed it again and still red 

 

We have checked all the fused and wiring going to the rack and there all coming up as working we also checked the power steering angle sensor and that is working so we don't understand why the light is red 

 

When we coded the car we used a snap-on computer do you think that maybe it because it needs a proper VAGCOM plugging into it 

 

Thank in advance guys for your help

Which part did you change?

What was the fault code number?

What coding has been done?

What was it you changed again?

 

Thanks pikpilot for your reply so we changed the power complete power steering rack with the motor we had to calibrate the steering with a VAGCOM as when we first fitted the part it when from red to Amber and once coded to the car the light when off woke up in the morning to start the car and when red again  I FORGOT TO GET A SHOT OF CODE WHEN PLUGED IN WHEN WHEN RESCANNED IT STILL CAME UP WITH STEERING RACK FAULT 

SPOKE TO SOMEONE YESTERDAY AND THEY SAID MAYBE THE MECHANIC DIDN'T LINE TGE STEERING WHEEL PROPLEY WHEN FITTING THE PART
