Hi all, 

 

I'm looking into tweaking the steering assistance level on my 2012 vrs to increase the weight/feel.

 

I find steering too light on fast motorway driving and this is particularly noticeable on long fast bends with bumpy surface when the car can be easily upset.  I'm hoping a heavier feel at speed will stabilize the car and make for a less stressful experience.

 

If anyone's altered the VCDS and experimented I'd love to know.

 

EPS yuk!

VCDS isn't able to adjust the steering assistance level on a 2012 vRS.

 

Instead, you'll need to flash a new steering curve using VCP or ODIS-e. The Audi TT RS seems a popular choice, if I remember correctly it has more assistance at lower speeds and then less at higher speeds than the vRS curve.

 

I think there are now tools to make custom curves but I've not tried them yet

That's really disappointing! This steering is accurate and smooth at all speeds but at high speed it's too light and no feel like many other EPS systems. I  wouldn't know which car to go for next to get good steering. Is the mk3 any better?
