MY2016 Q5 steering angle question - Worried

[feplazas]

Guys, I'm not sure if it is normal, but I noticed something "unusual" about my new MY2016 Audi Q5 2.0T. When checking measuring block 33 in Address 16 controller (steering) with VCDS, i see the car steers 149 degrees to the left and 163 degrees to the right (on full stop, of course). Vehicle is a left hand drive (maybe this has something to do with the steering angle difference). G85 is calibrated. It reads -1.59 on a full stop and steering wheel level. For it to read 0.0 I have to steer slightly to the left. Already went for a 4 wheel alignment. Car drives straight with steering wheel level. So, what do you think? Is it normal?

This is the definition of overthinking it.

Car tracks straight? Steering wheel is straight? Tires are not wearing unevenly? No noticeable issues when having front end aligned?

Those readings might be normal or not, only an Audi engineer will know, but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck...in other words, if everything seems normal, I wouldn't be concerned about those data points.

I respectfully disagree. It might not be that simple. In fact, it could be a safety issue.

Some Q5'er with VCDS out there? Would you please check controller address 16 - MVB 033 and see what angles you get from lock to lock?

[spijun]

Do not believe all the tests that you get with VCDS. In many segments VCDS is limited

VCDS is not an official program, check with ODIS-S ( old VAS v19)

Ok, will do. In the meanwhile, any fellow Q5'er with VCDS would care to help me with this?
