Gman 29 Posted September 22, 2009 Hi, It's been over 7 years since I had my last 205, so can't remember if this issue also applied to them. Anyway, I have only been driving the car around the farm as it has no tax/MOT (16v conversion to go in first), but it seems that the car doesn't seem to turn very much even though I turn the wheel to 9 or 3 o'clock. The steering is also much heavier than I remember (this one has PS), so am I just used to newer cars or does this seem a little odd? In comparison to my clio, the 205 just doesn't turn no where near as much with the same lock. Thanks Graham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hengti 2 Posted September 22, 2009 which Clio have you got? i've a Clio2 RS which has about a turn less than the (manual) 205 rack and has less of a turning circle as well. not sure if the number of turns on the PAS rack is different to the manual - ? if it tracks up OK and still feels odd, might be worth disconnecting the lower U/J and checking that it's free Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll take a good look around once the engines out, but it sounds like I'm just too used to the smaller lock. Many thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hengti 2 Posted September 22, 2009 sounds that way. i think the 205's 3.8 turns and the 172/182, 2.7 turns. it's a slower rack in the 205, but has much more feel on the move IMO (although i've not driven a Trophy) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
