Has my car got servotronic / parametric steering?

As per the title, can someone please tell me if my car has got servotronic / parametric steering? VIN number is WDD2120022A617161. The steering seems heavy when pulling away and I have had a new rack, new power steering pump fitted (I didn't do the work so I didn't see the old rack which had some play), when the track rod ends are disconnected the steering and top mounts have no binding and steering is obviously very light, there is no play in any balljoints or bushes, so I am now thinking it might be the valve for Paramteric, trouble is I don't know if it has one fitted or it's just standard steering.

Normally on W212 code 211 is for electric power steering, I did not see that code in yours. Someone else can verify?

Thank you but it has Hydraulic power steering. I changed the power steering pump and bled it through with 3l of Pentosin II

Thanks for the reply, but I don't understand why you posted a picture of the Pump, I have already changed that and I need to know if my car has the variable steering valve / parametric steering fitted (I know some do and some dont)

Posted pump info to show 2 pumps are available either or would be fine. Now then parametric steering or w212 direct steer is code 211 as mentioned since it is not listed on your data card you do not have it.
