    Floppy steering

    Hello everyone, does anyone know what needs to be sorted or replaced as I seem to have a vertical play of about 3mm on my steering wheel/shaft?...Thanks!

    Have you recently replaced the steering wheel?

    This thread can be helpful. You need the spring (pn 914 347 713 00) and bush (pn 695-347-725-00) shown in post 22.

    If necessary, please post a picture of the shaft on your steering wheel and the column in the car.
