Tried flipping between Sport and Normal, but no difference. Car is and has always been set to Normal. Even mentioned this to the technician when we were out on a test drive.

I experienced heave steering wheel first time just 30 min ago when turning right.
I wanted to turn right, heavy steering wheel and lights goes low when i tried to turn.
I park it, start it again, no problems at all, but my mileage mpg and temperature reset .
Temp shows me 15c when is 7.
Dont know what happend.
Might be a computer issue ? Now its seems to be alright..

My 2016 xtronic diesel tekna a similar with heavy steering in normal mode and even heavier in sport. Offsprings have a seat Leon fr diesel estate, a Skoda Octavia 245 vrs estate and a Peugeot 308 diesel all of which are lighter. Purchased a new Skoda citigo for city running which is Almost stupidly light. My Old Range Rover steering is similar t the qq but is very sensitive to tyre pressures. I had an Audi A4 Ultra SE auto company car for 3 months shortly before retirement at the end of 2017 and it was well balanced and weighted. I personally doubt there is anything adrift and you may have 3 options ie swap to another brand, live with it or join a gym, (excuse that last less than humerous thought). I hope you have found further employment which may help with options
