power steering

[alex.b]

hope someone has had this as seat are having none of it,now on third leon,1st original fully loaded cupra,2nd cupra 210 and now 225 one have done similar mileage in all around 40k and suffered all normal faults ie coils,water in doors,noisey failing fans so feel pretty qualified in commenting on how they feel.

however the one i have now is a presenting a fault seat ,who are normally very good,are at a lost as they can't replicate/think i'm barking;when driving the car it feels as though for a split second the power steering fails so when turning/driving
in any enviroment when you got to turn the steering wheel its feels non-responsive/heavy/dead it's quite hard to describe so i'm hoping someone out there has had the same expirence.....

comments please..

and yes vag com nothing and fluid levels correct

funny.. i get a similar feeling with my ibiza... its as if the steering goes heavy light heavy light when turning a moderate corner at moderate speed.

foxes, take the car back to the dealership and ask them to adjust the steering alignment, they will (should) do it free of charge.

D3DNA- Is that the wheel alignment ('tracking') or seperate steering column adj?
