Mk II Leon heavy stiff steering

[RustyOsb]

Hello,

I bought an '07 Leon 2.0TDI sport about 3 months ago. Only low miles (5K) but very suddenly, maybe over the period of a day or two the steering has become quite stiff and heavy.

I bought the car from a VW dealer who did a quick diagnostic check and found no fault with the power steering system. However, I am convinced something has changed in the way the car drives.

Has anyone got any ideas or suggestions.

Would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Nick

If you are in the UK, the car should still be under warrnaty, so best take it to a Seat dealer to deal with.

I had the same fault with my old Leon Sport. I had to tell the garage where to look for the fault. They ended up changing the steering control module if that is any help.
