My 2016 ecodiesel's electric power steering is getting stiffer by the day. Anyone has had this problem? Any hints for solutions? Thanks

Did some research and happily it was nothing serious like the electric steering electronic component. The steering universal joint had become stiff so I WD-40ied it and it loosened up in 45 seconds. This is the link to the video I found. It might help somebody. Cheers.

lubricate the universal joint in the steering shaft between the box and column... that was the source of my issue 2 years ago..I bought a replacement but after greasing the needle bearing with lithium grease spray I havent had the issue return.

EDIT* sorry I need to be more patient before replying.
