Just to check, have you got the blue plugs out again to test it...?
I concur, it went from smooth-quick-ish to neck snapping in one very slight turn of the dizzy.,,
Tell you what it's a monster at the moment without the pulleys, but remember to fill your tyre up properly (after leaving the easy-bleed on lol!)
Did you get your laptop on-it? Lemme know if you need hand wiping it but I bet you know how..
Once it's factory-reset it'll take ages to do lots of windows-updates and I've found VCDS doesn't work properly with them running in the background.. Expect 6 hours of updates and if it's less be nicely surprised.!
