Where abouts in VCDS is this setting??

Try this:

[44 - Steering Assist] (from Chassis tab)
[Recode - 07]

Take note of the value which is in the form 0001x1 where x is the weight setting, eg 000121
If x is set to 1, it will be very light, if it is set to 5 it will be heavy
Replace the number with the required weight, eg 000151

Thanks as always Bacillus. Ok, so as I understand this, this setting is to alter the weighting/resistance of the power steering. How is this going to make the car react as if it had a quicker steering rack? By that I mean that I am looking for less steering wheel turning force needed to turn the car to the required point.  :smiley:

Not sure what you mean by a quicker rack with this tinkering as all it does is increase or decrease the weighing of the steering.

For a quicker rack you will need to change the gearing ratio on the rack itself.
