Guys,
Can someone with ACC confirm if the ACC in sport changes the steering feel noticably or just a little bit? Is that even noticable when moving steering wheel on a stationary vehicle?
I've had some issues with my "repaired" car and at the moment there is no difference between normal/comfy and sport mode when moving stationary. The steernig wheel moves easily left and right. When driving I detect some resistance in sport but all very feeble.
I have not driven the Golf for so long I can't remember how it should be:(
Thanks

In my mum's old Scirocco, I'm sure the Sport setting had an effect on the steering, although I can't remember if it effected it stationary or not. I would of thought it would be only as your moving :)
-
On mine it feels like it reduces the amount of assistance at lower speeds adding weight to the steering, but not feel.
You used to be able to set the amount of assistance with vag-com on Mk5's and I had the settings tweaked on our old Passat when they changed the rack under warranty. Not sure whether it can be done on the 6 though.

On mine it makes a big difference to the amount of assistance. Nice. The difference is very apparent...

In comfort and normal modes it's light but when in sport mode the steering feels notably heavier - in a good way :wink:

Especially useful when you drop the cogs pre-corner and unleash the fury of 200bhp and 340lbs ft torque through sh!te tyres on a crap road :grin: :grin:

There is no difference in steering heft at parking speeds but you will notice more steering weight as you move from 'comfort' through to 'normal' and then on to 'sport'. Thus a logical progression.

I thought it only added weight to the steering feel in sport mode? :undecided:
-
I always feel the steering is a tiny touch heavier in Normal than Comfort. Maybe it is an illusion due to the stiffer suspension setting.
-
Thanks guys,
Mine is indeed stiffer in sport. I just though it was much heavier at crawling speed. It seems it's more progressive with speed.
The steering wheel I use to play NFS 2 is much heavier to start with :grin:
-
I've tried to have another go at adjusting the weight of the steering through VCDS but still no joy :sad:
-
To fully experience perfectly weighted power steering with just the right amount of feel, you need to try a good Mk2.

Yes, I've had a MK2 BMW 535d with active steering - it was magnificent :grin:
My aim with the GTD is to get the same steering feel in Comfort and Normal mode that you get in Sport - wish me luck :smiley:

True...but there are better.
An Integra Type-R for one...or a 911 for example.
It can be done quite easliy...

That's one hack I'd be very interested in.

It is not adjustable. In my case a VW-specialist, 2 VW dealers and VW-UK had a go and failed. The VAG-COM wont let you do it. It could be because it's a new-ish model and not all the codes have been released or simply that it cant't be adjusted.

:grin: oh ye of little faith.
It is adjustable, we just dont know how yet
I remember being told by everyone and their dogs that it was impossible to make OEM bi-xenons plug and play and that the shutters side of the xenons would never work without the original control units / wiring.....

It's not the critic that counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or whether the doer of deeds could have done them better...The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust, and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and often comes up short again and again. Who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause. And who, if at best in the end, knows the triumph of higher treatment and high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly so that his soul shall never be with those cold and timid ones, who know neither victory nor defeat.
