Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Reputable shop for wheel alignment - Brisbane

    Hi all,

    I have a 2018 Mk7.5 Golf R.

    Recently I hit a big pot hole at high speed and bent my front left wheel really badly, not to mention ripped a massive hole in the tyre.

    I had an alignment done after the fact by a shop I won't name. I was looking closer at the read out sheet today, and after Googling around I think the "OEM specs" they used for reference seem wrong/generic. There is also a noticeable difference between the front left and front right sides even in the "after" section, which could indicate the suspension was actually damaged by the pot hole.

    I asked the shop about this and I felt like I was being fed BS. Basically I don't trust them. For my peace of mind I just want to eat the cost and get it checked by someone reputable.

    Can anyone recommend a good dealer or shop in Brisbane that does legit alignments?

    Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
