If I understood the matter correctly,
it should be possible to adjust the electromechanical power steering with VCDS
so that you get lighter or heavier steering.
And that you can choose linear or progressive resistance.

Can anyone explain how to do ?  

(I have my own VCDS equipment)

You need to flash a new dataset.

 

It's not possible with VCDS, you'll need something like ODIS or VCP.

So the VAG dealer can do it ?   🤔

So the dealer has ready-made software ( from Factory ) for different steering resistances as well as linear or progressive action at higher speeds ?

Not quite...

 

The same steering rack is used in many car models so there are a selection of datasets available. A dealer would normally use ODIS with an online connection so it'll select the correct dataset based on your VIN. It won't offer the dealer a choice.

 

However, the datasets are also available for offline use (some dealers may have poor internet) so if you find the dataset you want, a dealer could do an offline line update to use it. I doubt many dealers will want to do this for you though...

Rough idea of how to do the update and parameter change using:

- VAS (old dealer software) https://skodapilot.com/2014/02/10/steering-curve-audi-tt-rs/

- ODIS (current dealer software) https://www.drive2.ru/l/473929369941705132/

- VCP https://www.drive2.ru/l/538914630311870716/
