Wondering about my 2008's intermittent motorway-speed tendency to slightly go-a-wandering... the car was built in February '14 and has a VIN slap bang centre of the VOSA 'advise' recall numbers for their R/2014/051 Peugeot 2008 steering problem recall...
But Dealer say No!...... nonetheless they willingly took it in to have it checked over.....but could find no fault...and really could only suggest its my problem possibly due to electric steering sensitivity and ridges in the road surface...
Having driven 35,000 plus miles a year in a variety of motors for most of my working life and not being able to recall having ever found such wander problems since the '70's I'm yet to be convinced...
Mrs ej has a newish Citroen DS3 which I believe has a similar electric steering system, but the original equipment Michelin Energy Savers (195/55 r16's) fitted to it have always given brilliantly positive steering...
so I reccon. this tiresome wandering is peculiar to the 2008 (?) and that possibly the original equipment Goodyear mud and snow tyres fitted to my 115 Allure (standard 195/60 r16's) are the main contribution. Is it worth fitting a pair of Michelins to the front perhaps......
