Small faults

  • Hi to all


    I have a couple of small faults with my car and looking for some guidance.


    1) I have a front wheel wobble through my steering wheel nearly every morning from cold and appears to be started whilst running over a bad section of road (same section) then gets progressivley worse until i back of the power and apply the brakes, then it is no more until the next day.
    I am having trouble trying to elliminate whether it is the brakes or the steering box generating the fault.


    2) During motorway driving my temperature gauge drops to cold but as soon as i stop for a few minutes it goes back to Normal without any problems but then slowly lowers again over a longer period of time.
    The heat output from the heaters also lowers slightly but there does not seem to be any problems with car in this condition.
    Could it simply be the thermostat?


    Thanks

  • No 1 could be one or all of the following....


    Slight brake binding, warped disc, upper control arm bushes, slack in the steering box....


    No 2 could be one or all of the following....


    Thermostat knackered, viscous coupling on the fan stiff....


    More than likely the thermostat.....


    Hope this helps....

  • For your Number 1. I had identical symptoms.
    I changed the infamous rear thrust arm bushes and the problem vanished.


    Not saying this will work for you, but it might help you with diagnosis.
