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  :jumping:

On my journey to town the steering got better and better and the lights cleared  :happy2:

Let's hope it's sorted soon, thanks for the reassurance buddy  :happy2:

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

Did you not try to resolve the issue via VCDS?

Atleast my shoulders and biceps will benefit from this exercise  :jumpmove:

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.
