Abstract
A steering column assembly for a motor vehicle has a bearing housing and a steering shaft which is mounted in the bearing housing, and an adjusting apparatus, by which the steering shaft can be adjusted. The adjusting apparatus has a drive with a drive element, a motor with a drive shaft, and a first flexible guide element which runs in a tensioned manner in a first tensioning direction between two first tensioning points. Here, furthermore, the drive element is wrapped around at least once without play by the first guide element and is coupled to it in a torque-transmitting manner such that the drive moves along the first guide element in or counter to the first tensioning direction when the drive shaft rotates in or counter to a rotational direction. Furthermore, a motor vehicle with a steering column assembly of this type is provided.
