Default Steering wheel becomes heavier

Hi, my question is about A5 servotronic steering wheel. I feel it was lighter before! now I have some issues once accelerating thru bends, and sometimes when I park the car.

Anyone's experienced the same thing before?

Do you have drive select, which has dynamic setting during aggressive driving the steering wheel get's heaver, but even if you don't the steering wheel should get heavier when accelerating through bends, it's called centrifugal force, buddy, it's what keeps you from trying to take a turn too fast. At slow speeds, the wheel should be heavy also, like a parking lot as if it's too light the car will feel less stable. Perhaps, audi has removed some of the power steering.
