    Heavy weight problems

    Hi all,

    Just wondered if anyone had had problems with heavy clutch and heavy steering? The problems arn't rediculously severe but it just doesn't seem right on a 2004 model car!

    Cheers matt

    The brakes on my 260,000km FL1 are firm but not heavy - not too light, not too heavy - just right.

    The clutch is quite light.

    The same applies with the steering and I have 225 width AT tyres.

    do you reckon replacing the auxiliary drive belt would make any difference?

    Won't make any difference to the clutch.

    Will only make a difference to the steering if it is slipping so badly the the power steering pump isn't turning enough to provide pressure and flow to the rack.

    yeah thats what I figured, I guess the question is how can I know if it is slipping or not without having to change it? I know twisting it would be the norm to check tension.... but would that necessarily mean it isn't slipping (assuming it is tight I mean).

    If the belt is slipping would anything else be noticeably affected?
