I did this on a couple of cars, but they were all set at the heaviest setting (which was still a bit too light).... worth double checking, but don't get your hope up

find someone with vag com, dealers will charge a fortune, esp if you dont like it and want it back to where it was at.

What is the VRS setting on the power steering (via vag com)?
