The steering assist on the 2015 golfs is over asisted on 2 of the three golfs I drove in the last two days. Apparently it is adjustable according to a master tech I spoke to. My question is whether it can be ajusted or whether is is a software download from vw's mothership and can only be done by a dealer. My local dealer I think is too stupid to even know what I'm talking about.

It can be done via coding with VCDS or OBDeleven.
I've seen the steps mentioned on vwvortex and/or golfmk7 I believe.

Basically you can put the steering effort on "sport", permanently.

I took delivery of golf tdi yesterday, went into adaptions on vcds for # 44, setting for steering power was at 100%, set it to 60%, now it feels quite good. I'll see if it stays there or reverts. If it stays, I'll post exact procedure and the code I used.

Mine reverts to 100% from any setting whenever the ECU gets power cycled. I have a 9282 ECU.

so far mine is sticking at 60 percent but I'll give it a few dys before I post what I did and the code I used.

Alltrack as a driving mode button by the shifter that may be able to retro fit into the TDI, it adjusts from sport mode, off road (prob not an option), and custom.

I have it on custom, with sport steering but normal shifting points. It weighs down the steering wheel real nice.
