Slight Pull To The Left

[MikeRotherham]

I've had my Diesel VTR+ for a month, done about 750 miles. Since about 350 miles I've noticed that the car pulls to the left. Its very subtle and its doesn't always do it.

 

I've not kerbed the wheels so no impact that may have affected the tracking.

 

Has anybody else experienced this?

 

Also I find the wipers leave trails of water. The kind of effect you get when the blades are ready to be changed. I know that they are a different design perhaps thats how they are. Any comments.

 

Regards

Mike.

Check theres no rubbish on the wipers they should leave no trails at all. Might need a wipe to get some muck off them.

 

Pulling to the left mines similar but I had a slightly impact on my wheel still marked now which I think was the causes was not my fault someone drove into the side of me at a red light.

How often do you check the tyre pressure?

 

Does it only pull to the left on roads with the same type of camber? If it is not pulling to the left on a flat road then it may be nothing to worry about.

 

The car does change quite a bit in the first 10,000 miles as things loosen up. I think it just gets better as the miles go up.

It could be loose wheel nuts, binding brakes or a faulty tyre, but tyre pressure is the starting point.

Thanks for the replies, I've been fairly busy for the last 10 days or so, hence being a bit slow to reply.

 

I check the tyre pressures weekly and so far they have never varied. I set them to Citroen's recommended pressures.

 

The slight pull is a bit weird. I drove it today and it did n't do it.

 

I also thought it was something to do with the camber of the road or the quality of the road surface.

 

I've got the car booked in for its 1000 mile service the week after next. I've asked them to check it out. If its just a characteristic of the steering fair enough.
