To change the power steering coding (Address 44: Steering Assist), it must be done with ignition switch ON and engine OFF.
The most common/normal coding for 6R is '11250'.
This is my current coding,
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Address 44: Steering Assist Labels: 6Q0-423-156.clb
Part No: 6R0 423 156 B
Component: LenkhilfeTRW V277
Coding: 11260
Shop #: WSC 00788
VCID: 2F3BEEC0BE5AA712A61-807A
No fault code found.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition to being an absolute pleasure to which I have already become accustomed, it gives a new fun character to driving in corners, curves and other circumstances when avoiding obstacles... I only recommend it for drivers with magical hands.

Could you please show us a link to the steering pump you bought at AUTODOC?
What part/reference number did you use to purchase the new steering pump?

Watching the video in its entirety it appears that sandy anderson is having trouble coding his steering pump, and has to reset the diagnostic tool to be able to code again.
The diagnostic tool that sandy uses is similar to the one you show here, please rewatch the entire video and try to code your steering pump again according to the video.
With VCDS it is much easier.

The pump is suitable for your 6R, I leave you the diagram here in case you want to check the fuses.
SA4 is on top of the battery.
SB26 under the steering wheel.

So still no joy I have attached some more pictures of faults etc, we even replaced the steering sensor but that doesn’t seem to be able to see the pump to communicate, I have tried all the codes in this post any more codes would be appreciated and does anyone know if there are any specialist VW mechanics around Croydon, Surrey, UK, CR5 post code, no decent reviews of main dealer mechanics
