Glad it worked out. On the TSB for the steering column inop, the basic setting is the first step in the process of diagnosing the problem. Unfortunately, there were no documentation on the basic setting procedure. I'm glad we could figure this out as a group.

Sorry for the late reply Stefman. Sadly I never resolved the issue, I never knew about this basic setting procedure, but I wish I did as I lost a lot of money on the car when I sold it because of the fault (though the fault wasn't the reason I sold it) !
But its good there seems to be a working solution for the issue. Hopefully the thread will serve as a place of reference. I knew the issue wasn't serious as until it stopped working, it worked fine.

Hello,
I`m having this same issue, same error code in VCDS. Unable to adjust the position of the wheel, and this sucks because it's stuck in the opposite of how I normally set it.
Unfortunately, I think I've caused this myself... Don't ask why, but the round adjustment button was pressed while starting the car. I think this must have burned something...?
Have checked all the fuses on both sides of the car... all ok. The fuses at the rear I haven't checked yet.
@suj85; How was your issue solved?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Steering column adjustment switch A6 C6
Sounds like I may have same or similar issue. Electric steering wheel adjustment working fine 2 days ago. Picked up from workshop today and the wheel telescopes in and out but is now stuck in the 'up' (entry/exit) position. Cannot adjust manually via switch or with memory position. Is it a broken motor or a software issue?

It works :)
Well, good news for me...
I have ran the basic setting for 09 - Central Electric, and it works again! The fault code is no longer present and adjustment is working perfectly.
For anyone running into this issue; I would recomend running the basic setting first.
So happy I didn't order the collumn yet

Well, my steering column adjustment has been down for a while now as well. I knew a few members here and done the Basic setting for (09) but I could never find any documentation on what to do. I've been in (09) basic settings before but could not figure it out how to do it.
With some inspiration here with this thread, I thought I would give it another go. Not sure if this is correct but this is how I got mine to work. I went into control Module 09 Cent Electric and went to basic setting. For channel 1, hit go. Then on the next screen, located on the top there is a on/off button. Hit the on/off button and the column will go in, out, up, and down. Once this is measured, it started working. Now you have to wait since between range measurements, like 5 seconds between each movement. I did not realize this delay so I had to do it several times and I finally figured it out. Hope this helps.
