strange steering wheel issues

[E Kap]

I had my serpentine belt replaced yesterday on my 1999 C4. Everything with the belt replacement went well. However ..... my car is not running like it did when I drove the car into the shop.

#1. My horn was blowing after I touched the steering wheel (cover over the air bag). I had to pull on it towards me to stop it. Now, whenever I lightly touch it, it blows and at times continues to blow until I pull it towards me.

#2. The steering wheel does not seem straight. Seems to be turned slightly to the right.

#3. At high speeds (70+MPH), the car seems to be pulling slightly to the right.

I am going to call the mechanic, but wanted to get you input. Any thoughts about what is going on and/or suggestions to fix the problem. I always find the knowledge base and experience of the forum members to be invaluable.

Thanks

Eric

None of the items you describe have anything to do with the polyrib belt.

What else has recently been done? Has the car hit a curb?

The car as not hit anything as far as I know. I left the car at the mechanics for 5 hours, so I have no idea if anything happened when I was not there. I guess anything is possible. I know these people and would be surprised if anyone took the car out for a joy ride, but anything is possible.

If you did not have the problem before you took the car in for service -- then I would go back and ask to talk to management.

Eric,

As far as your horn problem goes, it's a fairly common isssue with 986's and 996's. Here's a link that might be of some help:
