Steering Assist Adaption

[Jase]

I find my 2009 Jetta has fairly consistant heavy steering, this is particularly noticable when trying to park. I have been keen to adjust the sensitivity of the steering assistance.

Noticed on the Vortex forums (http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2428776) that it used to be possible to use Vagcom with the earlier MkVs to adjust their steering sensitivity, but it's claimed that the later ones were non-adjustable.

Just played with mine and it is certainly adjustable once again (with no faults generated).

Using Vag-Com:
Steering assist (44) -> Adaption (10) -> Channel 03 -> (Adjustable value 0-2)

Originally my value was 0 and I've settled on 1 for the time being.

Noticed the following (roughly):
0 = heavier steering whilst driving; carpark speeds have similar heavy steering
1 = heavier steering whilst driving; carpark speeds have much lighter steering
2 = lighter steering up to ?80km/h; carpark speeds very light

Perhaps this may be useful down the track for somebody.

Good info
Was thinking of upping my R32 one step as well.

I found I only had 0 and 1 as options in the drop down box. It didnt refer to more or less assist.
Can you recall if the box referred to the assist on yours??

Thanks Bazzle
