Since repositioning the steering wheel reach so that it is not at its full extent (back in March 2016) the problem has not re-occured on my car. I spoke to the dealer when I had the car serviced, but they couldnt find anything wrong. I would suggest you play around with the steering wheel position to see if this helps..

This issue has improved since I repositioned the steering wheel.. I still get it occasionally but not to the same extent. Which suggests to me that this is a mechanical issue, and the further the steering wheel is extended the worse this problem becomes. Being 6,2" tall I had the steering wheel almost at its limits. I would suggest trying to reposition the wheel and see if this improves things.. I will report the issue to my dealer when the service is due, it's a company car and since it has improved I am not that concerned.. Cheers Rob

The stiffness does change depending on the driving mode, The problem I am experiencing is that in order to turn the wheel, I am having to apply extra force to initiate the turn..The steering is not constant in the effort required to turn the wheel. I did slightly change the steering wheel position (reach and rake) recently.. I am now thinking that perhaps this is a mechanical issue caused by changing the steering wheel position..Being 6"2 tall the steering is at its furthest reach position.. I will adjust it again before I go on a long journey. If that doesnt work then its back to the dealer..

Hi All I have started to experience a strange issue with the steering on my 2015 Octavia Vrs estate. When driving at high speed for an hour or more the steering becomes initially stuff to move.. Normally this is not a problem, but at high speed I am constanly making small steering adjustments to stay in a reasonably streight line/avoid pot holes/high winds etc etc. The trouble is that it is taking an extra effort ( allbeit a small effort ) to get the steering wheel to move. As a result I end up at times having to over correct the steering once it does eventually move. This makes for quite an edgy driving experience at high speed... For reference, I do not use the lane assist function. I have tried it to see if it makes a difference but it doesn't... I have also tried the various driving modes but still no improvement.. Has anyone else experinced this issue? or something similar? And am i right in thinking that the power steering is electronic rather than hydraulic? Cheers & Happy new year..! Rob
