Power steering is too stiff

Hi Scott, hope you're well. 

I've been watching your videos and learnt alot with saving alot too. So thank you for your great work and help.

I have a VW T5 Caravelle 2006 model. When I accelerate the power steering is fine but when I am idol, it becomes stiff and almost impossible to turn the wheel. The more I accelerate the more easier it becomes. Even the slightest touch on the accelerator kicks in the power steering. I've tried your trans tune method but no joy. Please could you advise what this could be? 

I have also changed the PW pump as the mechanic recommended but again no joy.

Please advise if you have any tips or tricks.

Kind regards 

Steve

Perhaps, when you refilled the new PS unit you did not bleed the air out of the system.  With the engine running, turn the wheels fully left and right at least six times, then check and top up your fluid.
