Passat Steering Problem - v8man
I have a 1997 Passat 1.9 TDI. The steering has started to get stiff and notchy when the car has warmed up and in hot weather. It takes a few miles to get like it and the self-centering is almost non-existant.

Any ideas out there - has anyone else experienced this?

A good starting point would be to change the PAS fluid, as on a car this age it has probably broken down completely and is like grey/black milk.
