Hi All,
I've recently purchase a '99 VT2 commodore and after about 3 months have started having a host of issues with it.
1. Turning issue: when i am turning right (even more so when going through roundabouts) the steering feels delayed, and the steering wheel is harder to turn. On 2 seperate occasions the car is spun out and I've narrowly missed hitting other cars, i only drive my car twice a week so i try to avoid turning right (yes, silly i know), but this issue is that bad where i'm afraid i'm going to not have control over it. And to add to this, i'm turning right at less than 10k/h every time, so it's not speed causing the car to spin out.
2. Linked to the turning right issue is the car switching itself off when i'm turning right after first starting it, i even wait for a minute or so before leaving and that doesn't help either, after i've started it for the 2nd time, it doesn't switch off again.
3. Having a/c on makes issues 1. and 2. worse.
4. Seperate a/c issue: I have a very loud and defined "Click" sound when i have the a/c on, i used to the incremental, but now it's just as loud every time and straight away no matter what level the a/c is on, when the click happens the entire steering wheel and right hand side of the dash vibrates also.
5. Idling issue: when in drive and idling the steering wheel and right hand side of dash vibrates and revs moves down below 0, then back up to between 0 and 1.
6. A/C whale sound: when i've got the climate control on with a/c, its switches between the dash and then face, then feet and makes a "whale" type sound when switching, this wasn't happening previously.
