Why is the steering wheel stiff?

1 Answers

Assistance oil is dirty. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Hydraulic assistance: A common reason is dirty power steering fluid. This situation is similar to when engine oil becomes dirty, which affects engine power and performance. Dirty power steering fluid can cause the steering wheel to become increasingly heavy, and a lack of power steering fluid can also make the steering wheel feel heavier. If the issue is with the power steering fluid, it should be added or replaced promptly. 2. Electric assistance: Check if the fuse is blown, or if there is an open circuit or a short to ground in the wiring. Repeatedly turning the steering wheel while stationary or at low speeds puts a significant load on the power assistance system, which can easily cause the steering gear to overheat and enter a protective mode, leading to heavy steering. It will return to normal after cooling down, which is a normal phenomenon.

Where is the cabin air filter located in an Audi Q5?

Audi Q5's cabin air filter is located inside the glove compartment of the front passenger seat and at the lower right side of the windshield. You can access it by removing the plastic cover. When driving with the air conditioning on, the vehicle draws in external air which contains dust, pollen, odors, and carbon dioxide. The cabin air filter serves to block these impurities and purify the air. Without this filter, these particles would enter the cabin, contaminating the AC system, reducing cooling efficiency, and potentially causing allergic reactions, lung irritation, or ozone-induced discomfort for passengers - all of which compromise driving safety. A high-quality cabin air filter effectively captures particulate matter, alleviates respiratory discomfort, minimizes irritation for allergy sufferers, enhances driving comfort, and protects the AC cooling system.
