#1: Pulling right on lift off Author: neilneil2000, Posted: Fri May 01, 2015 3:37 pm ---- I have recently bought my red 206GTi and have a bit of a steering issue... When I put the power down there is a slight pull to the left and if I suddenly release the throttle there is a definite pull right.
Any ideas?
Is this going to cost me a million pounds?

You need a good garage to check everything over really, it's worth it.

Does it pull either way when braking?
Just thinking if one of the front calipers wasn't releasing all the way it might cause it. Easy to check just lift that wheel and give it a spin, should be equal both sides.
Just an idea
Regards, Richard.

Use the search function and you will find many threads with different causes.

up to a point where i even created a poll it won't cost you millions to diagnose and fix the culprit , good luck!

#8: Re: Pulling right on lift off Author: neilneil2000, Posted: Sun May 10, 2015 2:38 pm ---- Looks like I have a slow puncture so will get that seen to first. Both wishbones are the same dimensions but they are different brands. No sign of any play in the bushes or bearings though.

#10: Re: Pulling right on lift off Author: Sim, Location: West CountryPosted: Sun May 31, 2015 12:57 pm ---- Ensure both wishbones are 100% look-alike
#11: Re: Pulling right on lift off Author: neilneil2000, Posted: Sat Jun 06, 2015 5:11 am ---- It only bloody worked didn't it!
I now have a car that drives in a straight line AND has a decent idle!!! WHOOOOP
However I did just over-torque by boss in a bout of excitement and cracked the cast iron...whoops
#12: Re: Pulling right on lift off Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sat Jun 06, 2015 7:53 am ---- There is a Haynes manual that covers the 206 GTi. It's just a shame they did the engine work on a 307 because they don't consider the access problems in the tighter engine bay of the 206.
