Default Electric steering wheel adjustment issue

Hello to everyone. I am new in this group. I just bought an Audi A8 2008. Before i had from 2007 and had manual adjustment of steering wheel. Now is electric.
Previous owner told me that is not adjusting up and down from 2 years. I was hoping i can fix but in my city nobody can find the solution till now. I bought already from 1 month. Is moving only 1 cm up and 1 cm down. In and out is moving like it should 10 cm.
I have a cracked vcds when i make basic setting to steering column is moving out 10 cm and 10 cm up.
i try with different steering column + motors. Same thing is moving only 1 cm up and down and same thing to basic settings out completely and up completely. I just want to move it more down. Please if someone can tell me what is it. I ask previous owner if comfort module was changed but he say he didn't. I thought it make component protection. Because sometimes on central convention on vcds i have component protection. Not all the time.

Common fault. The steering column adjustment needs to be recalibrated. You’ll need VCDS to do the basic setting for it.

See thread for more info;
