VW Touran 1.9 TDI 2004

When the motor is cold and you drive around, the power steering works properly. When you stop the car after a 20-minute drive (for example), and try to start again, there is a flashing red light on the dashboard, showing that the power steering no longer works. After a while (when the motor has cooled down), when you start the motor again, everything works well again. Can somebody advise me of any possible problems? What do I need to do to solve this?

Thank you in advance.

have you checked the fluid levels?
maybe the fluid is contaminated and need renewing
