VR No power Steering at idle ~700

[Sorry6]

Recently my pump became no more and failed on my power steering. I went and bought a replacement pump from the wreckers and fitted it to my car. Now when ever i'm in idle no power steering but with a little revs it's back.

When i first turned on the car i left the cap of and turn the steering full lock side to side about a dozen times. Is there a step i may have missed.

i think its a sticking pressure valve in the back of the power steering pump
its under where a hose attaches and then under the big nut

some people think sanding it with 800 grit sandpaper fixes it but.... normally i just replace pump asly
wreckers give a warranty on there parts if you go back and tell them the pump has low pressure in it unless hold revs high they will know its worn out
then you can get yourself another one!~

Thanks heaps, it's been driving me nuts over the last couple of days. I'll give the wrecker a call tomorrow and try a new pump.
