Same happened to mine, it'd be okay for a day or so then stopped working, it'd keep doing this until one day it just gave in and i was left with constant heavy steering, although i was used to that sort of driving as my first car was non power steering, i put new motor in which was back in july ish time last year and it's still working flawlessly to this day :)

All being well you'll have the same success.

The motor isn't responding basically to me from that information

Was it replaced with like for like?

Ie A mk2 1999 to 2002 Relay motor?
Or did you fit a 2002 - 2003 non relay motor fitted to mk2b's as well?

If so - i believe they are NOT interchangeable, so it could be a case of wrong motor = No workie

hardest part of it all was getting the lower steering shroud off as for some reason top screws were 4mm and bottoms were 3mm
