Help and advise on my car
Hi. To be honest I know little about cars in general however I bought my first volvo car the other day. I ended up with a volvo v40 13 plate. On the test drive everything seemed to be fine. However since driving it for longer iv notice that when going around a corner the steering wheel does not re-centre properly it returns around 3/4 of the way then you have to turn the wheel to correct it. Every other car I have owned returns to centre. The guy at the sales placed advised that its how it should be. I just don't want to take the sales persons word for it and further down the line it turn out to be a fault. Also if you slightly turn the wheel to left or right whilst driving it continues in that direction if that makes sense. Thanks in advance for any advise

Hello,
I think you are right in questioning the sales person’s advice that all is well. If it were mine, I would be arranging for a trusted local garage to road test the car for you, and then throughly inspect the steering and suspension if they too feel the car is not steering as it should. Well worth ensuring the tyre pressures are checked against the handbook specified pressures before hand. Do a visual check of the tyres at the same time, to see if there is any obvious uneven wear across the tread width on any of the tyres. |
