Steering And Esp - Have I Done Something Wrong?

[mikejj55]

After recently changing the battery I had to reset the ESP according to the instructions in the manual.

 

What I have noticed, and it may not be related at all, is that the car now seems to wander off to the left, even allowing for camber etc.  Not much but sufficiently noticeable to have to correct with the steering.

 

What I was wondering was if the reset of the ESP had to be done with the steering absolutely central?  Would it work against the steering if slightly off? 

 

(The reason it is in my head is that on another car I have, which has an electric power assistance, there is a routine for realigning the steering and power assistance)

 

Otherwise I will just take the car in for a tracking alignment test.

 

Any thoughts

 

Thanks

I don't know the definitive answer to this but have had this effect in the past (car constantly pulls slightly to one side) , try disconnecting the battery again then when you reconnect and the car systems boot up turn the steering wheel fully left/right to the stops.
