HI guys I would really appreciate any help/opinions you could off,
My car is doing the following, only upon turning the steering wheel right hand down.
ESP off, as soon as I turn the wheel right hand down after start up the animation shows as if I have turned it off, but I can't turn it back on. It isn't showing an ESP error. Now from what I can gather it is still working, I have tried to lock the brakes up, no go pulls up normally. Also in the wet the traction control grabs when starting and the back end doesn't go out.
AIRBAG FAULT, upon right hand turn, also the button lights go off, but if I turn the wheel back, the fault clears and the lights come back on. I took the wheel off and 'reset' the clock spring and the air bag fault hasn't come up again and the lights are staying on.
When I turn the wheel full lock, right hand down (as if doing a U-turn) there is an awful grinding noise, kind of like the wheel is caught on the guard. I have checked this and the power steering fluid. All are fine. This is the one that worries me the most. This isn't happening if I go full lock left, I've tried this a few times. (It will start now just to make a liar out me).
Any sort of ideas or opinions you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
The only thing I can think of that has happened to the car recently is that it got reversed into, also the harmonic balancer has been replaced twice, due to faults and then a 3rd time they took the belts off (or something like this) to check that there wasn't damage to the crankshaft (I can't be sure that is correct, I didn't really understand what they were saying there, just that they had to remove belts and perform a cold start up)
Cheers and thanks.
Oh and Merry Christmas.
