Hi all,
To cut a long story short my g/f's mom is having problems with her 06 Clio dynamique DCI 1.4 86hp. It basically pulls to the right or left, and it seems to do it intermittently but she seems to notice it on corners more than straights.
Anyway she took it to a local garage and they suggested it was an electrical problem with a sensor missing from the steering wheel or rack and couldnt fix it. She then took it back to the place she bought it from (Evans Halshaw) as she hasnt had the car long. They told her the tracking was the worst they had seen, and she needed this doing and 3 new tyres.
Anyway she paid for the 3 new tyres and the tracking.....but the cars still doing it, if not worse. The issue is, they live on the Island of Arran (Scotland) so a trip to a main land dealership to no avail is very costly.
The local garage she took it too, are still insisting they cant fix it as a sensor is missing and there is no mounting points for the said sensor. (Unfortunately she has given me very limited detail on exactly what they said......probably as the garage is unclear as well)
So, i know there is a yaw sensor on the rear torsion beam (i have a clio 172 myself, so i assume hers has similar), and i think theres a steering wheel position sensor....but i dont see how either of these could make the car pull to the left or right..??
Clios have speed sensitive steering??, so my first thought is this might be the issue??? (The car has no ESP or anything, according to the specs online)
Any ideas?
