Re: Occy 2 Steering Assistance
Not that I'm doubting you, but I just did a quick google as I thought it was electro-hydraulic, and have come up with conflicting answers. Is it different depending on which engine you had (last googled site was a 1.9tdi)

Edit: example..Skoda Octavia TDi - Autocar.co.uk

I agree, Autocar doesn't get everything correct - I recall in one of the first Fabia road tests they reported that the radio button kept on falling off, they didn't realise that it was a removeable security panel.

Yes. But remember that it's not possible to change anymore from MY07 forwards. Only pre - MY07 have the possibility.

Also it might not be possible to change if you have retrofitted a MFSW and when doing that have changed the steering module controller to a newer version.

I did that and now I cannot change the steering assist setting anymore.

Wrong type of twitchy. I'm after more response, not the effect that standard 'crap' damping gives.
