pulling
Hi Guys,
I'm going to drop the 964 to Camtune in the next week to get the clutch sorted.
However I've noticed a couple of other issues.... The car appears to be pulling to the left when I accelerate and then to the right when I step off the gas (sorry being American
)
Also when I shut either door there is a metallic bang (well noise) which comes from the engine bay.
Are these related?
Cheers
Sunil
PS Happy New Year all!!

Hi Greg,
I've not check on the condition of the tyres yet... I don't remember hitting any speed bumps too hard. I hope it is something as simple as tracking.
I was thinking of having lowering springs fitted so might as well have the 4 wheel alignment done then.

Hi Sunil,
not too sure about the car pulling but the metallic noise from the engine bay is nothing to worry about. There was a mail about this recently, something to do with when the heater is on then a flap in the blower/heater system which is in use opens and closes as the doors shut making the small metallic flap noise in the engine the bay. In this cold weather, with the heaters on people seem to be noticing this more than in the summer......

Hi Alex,
Cheers for the mail... Glad that the metallic sound is not going to cause me grief. I'm a little p*ssed about the car pulling though.
I guess I'll keep you boys posted on the clutch and pulling situation.

Yes, that ping pong ball sound when closing the door is strange isn't it.

Hi Chaps,
It was the tyre pressure! I had 14 psi in the nearside read and 24 on the offside! They're both sitting in at 36 and the car is flying, well kinda... Booking in next week for the clutch!
