Hi - I’m hoping someone can help me out.
The steering on my 2014 A5 has started to feel “notchy” when driving. The best way I can describe it is as though there’s a magnet either side of 12 o’clock on the steering wheel that pulls the wheel one degree left - then when I counteract it, it pulls it one degree right. It isn’t actually restricted to one degree notches - so travelling at, say 50mph approaching a sweeping curve in the road, I can feel the steering wheel slips through several of these “notches” as I turn it. It feels more like an electronic fault than a mechanical one but I can’t be sure.
The car is a 2014 A5 Quattro 2.0 TFSI SE with adaptive cruise control and lane assist (I never use lane assist). I had the windscreen replaced 18 months ago and the fitters advised they’d recalibrated everything that was needed.
My mechanic couldn’t find anything and suggested a 4 wheel alignment (Hunter) which I’ve had done - but the problem is still there.
I’m at the end of the road with it now and desperate to get it sorted (I love the car and have owned it since early 2015). Any suggestions or ideas would be really appreciated . TIA
