Stiff steering wheel.

[dre731]

Hey guys. Starting yesterday my 2012 a4 started acting up. Steering is very stiff as if I'm driving 50 mpg when I'm barely going 5 mph. Has anyone had this problem? Please let me know what it might be an what the solution is. TIA

servotronic fuse, relay, or maybe busted hose:

I have had this VERY issue. It felt like power steering was cutting out almost, totally at random. Turns out there is a universal joint down low in the steering column that is very exposed, especially if you no longer have your belly pan (like me) and this joint can attract a build up of rust and corrosion. Cleaned it up nice and it was like I had just put a new power steering pump in car.

I had this same issue as well, it will seem to bind at spots during the rotation of the steering wheel, at other spots it is more normal.

Dropped the car off at the shop. Waiting for a phone call
