skoda octavia steering - corky_frome
Greetings all,
Wondering if anyone has any thoughts or suggestions on this problem....
My 52 Octavia 2.0 has got a lot of 'play' in the steering, and also tends to drift to the left somewhat. This problem has gradually got a lot worse over the last 5000 miles or so. Its very similar to a problem I had with a golf mk3 driver I recently had; a new steering rack and wheel alignment helped this but was never back to A1 condition. Pot holes and speed bumps dont help I'm sure, but was thinking whether there may be anything else worth checking else or if anyone has had similar problems with skodas/vw's etc.
cheers

corky.
