Pulling to the left and twitchy power steering...

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions as to why the A2 I test drove was putting to the left and also had somewhat twitchy power steering at high speed??? I was driving it and it was constantly pulling to the left so I had to put some pressure on the steering wheel in order to prevent this... Also then on the motoway, I was doing 80mph+ and when ever i went to correct the pull to left, the power steering was quite twitchy and any correction was met with a small but sudden opposite movement... I noticed that the front left tire had a more wear on the inside than the right... Could this be a tracking and balancing issue or could it be something more serious??? I am taking delivery of the car next week and it is currently under going a full service and the 180 point inspection Audi Stansted said they would perform... As I am going to test drive it again before paying the remainder of the balance, I want to make sure there is nothing mechanically wrong with the car so any advice or thoughts are welcome...

Based on my recent experiences, it could be the power steering controller, or just in need of a full track and alignment.

Either way, get it sorted before you take delivery - an Audi dealer charges £200 for a track!
