I am also experiencing similar problems with my 2010 Polo Trendline, as we speak. When I'm in a traffic jam, the steering light turns on and becomes hard, but after switching the ignition off and on again, it disappears and the steering wheel becomes loose again. I call this a temporary relief, because there definitely is something wrong that needs to be fixed. Anybody's help would be appreciated.
Check the harness on the left side when you are in front of the car. I've found 2 corroded cables that lost connection. This came as a fault - low voltage from the alternator when my mate checked it with a VW tester.
