Wheel Alignment






Wheel Alignment

The vehicle may only be measured with a VW/AUDI approved wheel alignment machine!

Wheel alignment checks must always include both the front and rear suspensions.

Otherwise centering of toothed shaft cannot be guaranteed!

- Perform alignment using the alignment computer.

All information needed for the alignment can be found in the alignment computer.

Current data updates are stored in VW ServiceNet.

Wheels should not be aligned until the vehicle has been driven 1,000 to 2,000 km, since it takes this long for the coil springs to settle.

The individual specifications should be followed as exactly as possible when making adjustments.
