Is this something you noticed when you got the car or since you had the tracking adjusted?
What tyres are on the car, how much tread left?

As a rule the weight of the car and the DSTC take care of any mechanical waywardness from deliberate provocation.

Or is it a case of buyer remorse given that the OP has started 14 threads on similar subjects within the past couple of weeks?

There must be something on this car that he likes otherwise why did he buy it?

Just noticed you have a V60 D5 so it's FWD. yes I had one and if pushed at a silly rate I could get torque steer. Soon corrected itself with the vectoring. To be honest I prefer RWD cars to FWD. but I prefer AWD over both.

Does appear to be a troll when you ask for feedback and there is none. Maybe looking to deflect emissions issues from EU V diesel VAG products ?
