Hi everybody!,
I have had my A3 for about 5 months now and its done 20,000 miles. About a week or two ago i noticed a change in the steering and need help!.
It seems to surface when the car is cold and also only does it when stationary!, the problem is that the steering goes very stiff as you are turning the wheel, its a pain when reversing into a space or something and im sure did not do it when i got it.
A friend has a 3.2 one and his is fine, i took it back to my local audi delaer and they took a look but said that this type of electric steering which adjusts iteself etc does tend to have this effect but surely it should not be stiff when reversing into a space?.
Anyhow wondered if anyone knew anything?, as i think i will take it back again as it still has 15 months of audi warranty remaining.......To me it feels like the system is low on oil but i am guessing that is not the problem?, anyway any help would be great, thanks everyone and happy new year
