Alignment: Description and Operation

Alignment General Information

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 axles.

Otherwise centering of toothed shaft cannot be guaranteed!

-

Perform alignment using the alignment computer.

Any information needed for wheel alignment can be found in wheel alignment computer.

Current data updates are stored in VW ServiceNet.

Note:

^

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.
