It seems that most cars are shipping out with stock setting "6"

I wish I was your derivative so I could lay tangent to your curves.

I dont know maybe currently, but when we checked Chris W. ChrisC. mine Ryans and Uwe's atr the BBQ over last summer, all but Uwes was set at 8, but those were all early shipped models.

As for it being lower I hate it, too much work when the cars under 10 mph. when I tested Ryans car (I think it was at 4) it felt like I was driving my 81 Toyota corola (which had no power steering) when I was making slow turns. Perhaps I'm just real use to the way it is.

No, just do it. I set mine on '3' and it's perfect.

I don't find it to be stiff at low speeds at all. The variable-boost takes care of that fine. I did find it to be excessively sensitive/twitchy when at the original setting of '6'.

i guess i will have to play around with it. I am doing that and my rear fog tonight

The heavier, firmer steering more closely matches my stiffer shifter, and the stiffer suspension. Now If I could only have a harder brake pedal, all the controls would be nicely balanced...

Help me out guys,

do i have to change the channel 001 to 003 if i want the setting 3 or how does it work ?
Perhaps somebody can make a screenshot of the vagcom while playing with theese settings.

Here ya go, and you do not change the Channel from 001 to 003.
You go to up Channel Number 01, then you will see a Stored value to the right of that.
That is the factory setting or previously saved setting if you've changed it before.
To enter a new value, you type the number in the New Value field, hit Test button, then hit Save button.

Hit Done and exit all the way out. Power off ignition, power it back on and crank engine and go for a spin. Test out how it feels for slow speed parking and u-turns, then take it for spin on the highway.
Adjust, if necessary. Do not try to change this setting on the fly, only do it parked and engine off, with ignition switch in ON position.

The level of steering assist at the highway speeds DOES NOT change at all...

I was at 8 stock. I changed it to 6. Judge I think you're def just used to what you have (8) and like it.

I drive two A3s. One is at 6 (my modified car), the other is at 8 (stock). I love it at 6. I haven't tried anything lower but plan on testing other cars at future GTGs.

It will be a matter of preference for each person. I feel that it adds to the sportiness of the car having it lowered some. With a chip, 18"s, rear sway bar, and the steering adjusted - it really FEELS like I'm driving a sports car.

That has not been my experience at all. Highway-speed boost has been reduced, resulting in more stable handling on the road.

Exactly.

More steering assistance is provided when the vehicle is traveling at low speeds / the steering wheel is undergoing larger and faster rotations. Assistance is reduced when traveling at higher speeds / the steering wheel is undergoing smaller movements.

0-10mph, a map is selected by the control module in response to the more rapid turns and larger amount of force placed on the steering wheel.

At 62mph and up, the module will choose to apply little to no steering assistance b/c you would be applying a lighter force to the steering wheel, such as when changing lanes.

The module has room for 16 different maps. VW/Audi has installed 13 maps in the module. Each map is based on the following factors...

-vehicle weight
-vehicle size
-shocks
-springs
-wheels
-tires
-fwd or awd
