Adjusting power steering

[Ecomatt]

Reading in my Skoda manual, it says that the dealer can adjust the power steering weight. How easy is it to get the power steering adjusted? I feel it is too light at high speeds for my liking. I like it to feel slighty heavy so I know what the front wheels ar doing? I have searched through various posts and I cannot find one that answers the question.

I had the steering adjusted by the independant I use to the vRS settings, makes a real difference IMHO

I think it can be adjusted with the gizmo VAG.com.

I find my steering very light on the VRS, but the missus likes it that way, and I'm used to army vehicles with no power steering at all!!!

What settings are there? Is it like fords that have sport, comfort etc that are pre set?

[Alex]

If you have vag-com then yes similar you can even lighten it even more!

As you are Notts way try a search for DSB auto care very good independant who would be more than happy to help.

Have a look at the link below on VRStu's excellent Fabia website for details of how to adjust steering feel:

Does this, or something similar, work on Octavia 2s as well ? Mrs A has really heavy steering in hers.

Yup - it can be adjusted with VAG-COM but most of the vRS's are on the heaviest "sport" setting from the factory, which is still too light, imho.
