Hello,
I’m having an issue with my 2013 1.2L Polo. The steering is constantly drifting over to the left when driving, sometimes it seems worse than others. I have taken it to 5 different garages, it has had the tracking checked at each one all say it is ok, but can see the issue and cannot explain it. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

check the rear axle as well as tire pressure/wear

Re: Steering constantly drifting over to left
Could be tyre pull. Rotate tyres to see if issue resolves or changes the pull. If it does then it's clearly tyres.
I have constant pull on my 2017 6C, but the camber is out on the front and the ride height is too high (Cross Polo). Can only fix camber by shifting the subframe. Great design VW. [emoji14]

I have a 2012 1.2 also and it pulls to left. I have had it tracked multiple times as well as new tyres on all 4 corners and the issue is still there. I have just learnt to live with it. Ideal when going around soft left hand bends though
