Steering wheel gone heavy after multifunction wheel retrofit

(1/7) > >>

MAH:
Hi all,

Carried out a multifunction retrofit today in my 2005 MK5.

Followed guides both on here and YouTube and had it all successfully installed.

Only problem is that even after a short drive, the steering wheel and traction control lights won't switch off and the steering has become really heavy.

Also the straight angle on the wheel is slightly slanted which means for me to drive straight, the wheel is slightly tilted.

Any ideas what I've done wrong as I've followed guides quiet accurately.

Thanks

Just wanted to add that the lights work on the wheel and the functions also I.e volume adjustment and Custer clock control all function

I've not really got any advice as such but on mine you wouldn't believe how long the steering adaptation took when I went from mk5 to mk6 MFSW  :indifferent:

......over  1000 miles  :surprised:

All of a sudden one day I set off to town and I thought.....the steering has gone real light!!!

Then on the drive to town it adapted properly the light went out and it felt great again  :happy2:

Idle the engine on a flat road, full lock one way and hold a few seconds, repeat the other way, centre up and drive straight at about 10mph.
The lights may go off.if not, just keep driving until they go 

Otherwise basic settings can be initiated in VCDS

Cheers David. I've tried that. Will VCDS sort it. I thought maybe I need to change the steering angle sensor aswell
