J Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Hi All, Not sure if anyone can help I have a 63 plate titanium X petrol, had two new front tyres fitted yesterday. Noticed that the steering wheel wasn't sitting straight but wheels were so took it to a specialist tracking place and they did some tests and realigned however, I still have the same problem. The steering wheel is sitting more over towards the right. Also I have an issue with the fan cutting in, the other evening I drove 7 miles at about 21:30 so it was fairly cool yet my fan kicked in for a good 10 mins after the engine went off. This is happening frequently but ford keep telling me it's normal?????!!! any help, advice or suggestions would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Fan is totally normal. Concerning the wheel, it needs re-centering on the shaft. Sent from my SM-G930F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 Thank you Stoney871 how do you centre it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Ensure the front wheels are fully straight, pop out the airbag, unbolt the steering wheel and re-centre it. Sent from my SM-G930F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btmaldon Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Surely they should have re-tracked it with the steering wheel centred? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Shouldn't be removing the steering wheel to centre it. Take it back and tell them to sort it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobr Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 They should have centred the steering wheel before it was tracked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
