You probably have electronic steering. I think they made the change from hydraulic in 2013

Ah! Yes, you might be right. I should’ve known that.

So there is no servicing it? I was looking for it to do a fluid change.

Cause I think its become stiffer over the years... Might be in my head, after driving the newer Audis...

B8.5 (2013-2016) is electric rack, no hydraulic components (pump, reservoir, etc).
Quick google for electric rack maintenance turned up this, https://www.autoserviceprofessional....power-steering
Might have some use for what to monitor with an electric rack.
