Audi EPS — No Fluid, But Maintenance Exists
The TT uses electric power steering (EPS) — there is no hydraulic fluid to check or change. However EPS is not maintenance-free: the steering column bearing and EPS motor are wear items, and the system requires correct VCDS coding if the EPS unit is replaced. Common EPS symptoms in Malaysia: groaning or whining on full lock in car parks (especially in heat), variable steering weight at highway speed (usually an EPS adaptation issue), or a steering warning light. VCDS can read EPS torque sensor data and motor current draw to diagnose early faults.
