Seat Ibiza steering problem
Summary of the thread
A 2004 Seat Ibiza with a gasoline engine is experiencing steering issues, including vibrations, spongy handling, and increased steering effort. The problem was suspected to be a bad connection, and after investigation, it was confirmed to be a faulty cable connection to the power steering unit. The issue was resolved by fixing the connection at a workshop.

Fluid level seems okay. My Ibiza has electric steering, not hydraulic. Is your Ibiza maybe older? Could a bad wheel alignment cause these vibrations? It gets quite shaky at higher speeds.

Ah, mine doesn't have electric steering, you are right. A bad wheel alignment could contribute. Maybe best to get it checked at a workshop though, especially with that error stored.

It turned out to be a faulty cable connection to the power steering unit. The workshop charged me 95€ to fix it. Thanks for the help!

I had similar issues with my Ibiza. Have you checked the hydraulic fluid level? A low level could cause the steering wheel to vibrate. It also felt a bit spongy when cornering.
