Wheel alignment 
     
WARNING! 
     
Do not re-use any fasteners that are worn or 
deformed in normal use. 
     Some fasteners are designed to be used only 
once, and are unreliable and may fail if used 
a second time. This includes, but is not 
limited to, nuts, bolts, washers, circlips and 
cotter pins. Always follow the 
recommendations in this manual-replace 
these fasteners with new parts where 
indicated, and any other time it is deemed 
necessary by inspection. 
      The wheel alignment should be measured using 
VW/Audi approved wheel alignment equipment.  
      Wheel alignment checks must always include 
both the front and the rear axles. Otherwise the 
proper running characteristics of the vehicle 
cannot be ensured.  
     
Notes:  
     The wheel alignment should not be checked 
before the vehicle has completed 1000-2000 
km (600-1200 miles) so that the coil springs 
have time to settle.
