Hi,
I have recently bought a 2001 Passat 1.8 Turbo Sport and noticed a small issue with the steering.
When accelerating hard(ish) the steering gives a light pull left and right. I suspected this may be torque steer as it doesn't happen at low speeds, but it's on my mind that this isn't right.
I am not thrashing my car when this occurs, so I was wondering if maybe there's an issue with the steering such as tracking or balancing?
Anyone got any suggestions on what to check or any known issues with these cars?
Thanks
