electric adjustable steering column fault

[allroadkev]

i have 2007 3.0 tdi, the problem being the steering column goes in and out, but not up and down, VCDS brings up no fault code,

How can I investigate this further guys?

is there a test in VCDS I can do?( full license)

I have a brand new cowelling with switch and control unit. In dark grey / black & never fitted Bought for mine but the problem was in fact a trapped cable behind the column. let me know if you want it. Yours for £40 + postage which is less than half what I paid from Audi. Saves me experiencing the traumas of Ebay!
