Hi mate, yes it was heavy. One morning I reversed out of the drive and the steering had gone to the other end of the scale. It was so light it felt like the wheels were disconnected

On my journey to town the steering got better and better and the lights cleared

Let's hope it's sorted soon, thanks for the reassurance buddy

Hopefully It won't take as long as mine did. From what I learned 1000 miles to adapt is unheard of

Did you not try to resolve the issue via VCDS?

Atleast my shoulders and biceps will benefit from this exercise

Yes mate we tried everything with VCDS

When I do cluster or steering wheel changes this happens as well. there is a town hall near my house with a roundabout. I go around that a few times and do a few reverses on full lock and It clears it within 5 miles.

Sometimes VCDS want do it guys i.e. 2 days ago i've changed steering module and o matter how lon i drove or how many basic settings i did, its still the same. So I used other tool and its done straight away.
