Bit of a strange one this....

Missus was driving the car today and she called me saying

The car is pulling to the left, making a screechy/squealy/sqwaky noise, PAS becomes heavier when cornering, and has to hit the accelerator harder than normal to move the car, the alarm I have fitted has also stopped making a noise when setting it, everything points to a electrical fault but pulling to one side and heavier steering points to mechanical, can anyone help ???

Cheers
Dan

Dodgy tyre pressures will make it pull one way, and the load of the pas could be making the drive belt slip - causing the squealing.

Bit of a update, ive just driven the car and noticed when you back off the throttle it jerks the car forwards, lower engine mount changed last week and i checked the top mount yesterday

missus also just mentioned it didnt start on the first turn this morning (as it usually does )

+1 for sticky, f*cked TPS. Mine does it occasionally when lifting off, car seems to take a second or two to realise i've backed off and all of a sudden the car jerks forwards.

Mine had the delay thing and thought it was TPS. Took it to Carl and the CTS was unplugged LOL
