LCR 225 Steering wheel position

[The Cupra Kid]

Just out of interest how many peoples steering wheel is dead centred with the red bit in a straight line???

 

[Feel]

Annoying isn't it - I think a lot, if not most are off to the left.

 

[D3DNA]

Yeah mines off to the left a bit. I seen Seat today about it and they will get into contact with me tomorrow about it.

I had mine re-tracked after the coilovers and the garage had to do it 4 times to get it right!!
There's also an esp steering angle sensor under the steering wheel so the steering does have to be aligned correctly, although I'm not sure how far out it has to be to make a difference

 

[The Cupra Kid]

glad its not just mine then! just something else to add to the list. lol

D3DNA... let me know what they say.

 

[The Cupra Kid]

..oh, mines to the left! The old car was dead in the middle tho.

 

[D3DNA]

Will do mate.

After fitting coilovers & tracking, it still sits,or goes slightly to the left!

No matter what you miss on the road, it parks up wrong on the drive

I went to my dealers today and they said they will do it under warranty (under good faith if not under warranty) as the job takes less than half an hour. I have it booked in for tomorrow so everything should be sorted. The service manager said its mainly to do with the rack not being aligned properly on RHD cars apparently.

 

[The Cupra Kid]

Thanks for posting what your dealer said, I will put this to mine... see what they say...amoungst other things!!!!

 

[Pabs]

my wheel is always pulling to the left... could be the rack alignment i suppose?

Tis weird tho isnt it!

 

[D3DNA]

I wouldn't have been to bothered but the 'direction indicator' on the steering wheel is rather noticeble whilst driving and hence is rather annoying.
I will post my results tomorrow after I have been to the dealer.

 

[The Cupra Kid]

I'll be checking back here tomorrow then...hope all goes well for ya.

Mine is dead centre..... it took me 4 visits to the dealer to get it back to straight after they did the wheel bearings.

They didn't check the tracking after doing bearings!!!!

 

[D3DNA]

I've just had the problem sorted, in total it took 20 mins for them to do it. The steering seems a bit sharper and lighter.

 

[The Cupra Kid]

Im off to the dealer in the morning for those jacking points to be put back in, I will mention the steering wheel too... my god they are going to get fed up with me!!!

What did they sort out or repair?

 

[D3DNA]

Basically they had to adjust the steering rack over a little.

Mine has been about an inch to the left from new ( 6 months ), got the wheel alignment checked today and it needed adjusting, steering wheel now dead centre and not as much pulling to the left
