Steering, "To the left, To the left"

[Mikester]

Ok, so the past few days, when i turn left, my steering is light, when i turn right, the steering is stiff, as if i dont have power steering at all! the car pulls ever so slightly to the left athough i did have a low tyre on the left, and since i pumped it up, its straight, the steering wheel is also straight when going straight. What could this be. Its stiff when turning right, but not left?

Any ideas welcome.

Thanks, mike

No ideas???

all i can say is check the belt!! i'm sure when wet mines more stiff steering right?? and normal left...

[Mikester]

Cheers, it seems these belts are tricky little buggers, and fair point, a few huge puddles i went through on the way home....

Possibly, i will check the tyres again, but it seems strangeeee. I actually got arm ache it was so stiff!!!



Poor me! lol  :embarassed:

[boneybradley]

well it does sound like belt slippage..mines the same when wet!! and it is when turning right....can get scary!!

[Mikester]

Yeah, its like, my first car didnt have power steering, but it wasnt a heavy mk3 golf! It feels horrible! Will check it ASAP.

Of topic, if i buy some site stickers of the site shop, i will get them yeah?! lol.

Just i dunno if they still have them and sell them?

[boneybradley]

they will have stickers no problem..... it's a must have on all golf gti's! 

[Mikester]

Indeed, well its like they are ordered!    Add 10bhp no problems. lol
