If there is no reservoir for PAS fluid then it must be electric, sounds like it if you can programme it. Have you tried different settings to see if it makes a difference? It's probably mixed electric-hydraulic then as there is a reservoir for fluid. I can't make any chnges to the weight as I don't have the necessary OBC kit.

I think its electric. It feels electric rather than hydraulic, plus the weight of the steering can be programmed through the OBC link (VAGCOM etc). Up until now everyone has said it is due to low profile tyres and the 17" wheels. But it looks like you have found that different tyres and smaller wheels just hide the problem.

I am very interested in this. My Monte does exactly the same as yours. I have complained to Skoda UK about it and it has been in the garage 8 or 9 times and nothing has fixed it 100%. Its 96% there. I have now given up as Skoda have said that the car is behaving as it should and within tolerance. I would have to take them to small claims court to go further. I have decided that I have better things to do with my time than fight for the last 4%. Also I now drive a different way to work so the problem is not as apparent to me. I am wondering if this is an issue with the power steering as no matter what has been done with alignments the steering wheel is still not centered plus its one of the few things that hasn't been looked at.

My Skoda dealer has replaced all four tyres with Pirelli P-Zero Nero. They are 205/40R17. Can you explain how the tyre could affect the pulling. I have been struggling to get my head around that.

I wouldn't of said it steps. Just drifts. Its really hard to test at 5mph. Much harder than 70mph. Trying to find a flat smooth road or car park that you don't get in the way of others is tricky!

After the alignment shown in the picture its more of a drift. I have to hold my steering wheel is 1-2 degrees off center to the right to maintain a straight line on the motorway. If I loosen my grip on the steering wheel, the steering wheel moves to a central position then the car starts to drift left. It feels as though the amount of left hand "turn" will increase but obviously I won't let it continue long enough. I too am a fussy sod. I probably wouldn't be that bothered about the car is I wasn't What is wrong with the thrust position? Too much to the right?

Sorry about the late reply. I hope you can see the attached photo of the alignment: https://onedrive.live.com/embed?cid=FFA8A62AA90D3090&resid=FFA8A62AA90D3090%21144&authkey=AKHRpysqAlNjZGw

Hi, I have the same issue with my Skoda Fabia Monte Carlo. My dealer has replaced the Dunlop tyres it came with for Pirelli PZero Nero tyres. The left hand pull has reduced but it is still there and the steering wheel is not centered when driving in a straight line. My dealer has also performed many 4-wheel-alignments. I have also taken it to two places to have the alignment done. The last alignment (that I had done) has made a small improvement but the pull and the off center steering wheel is still there. Chesham is a bit far for me to travel and have an alignment done as I am in the North West otherwise i'd be over to yours to give you a challenge! Do you have any advice you could give me on what to check/do now?
