had a new mk6 mfsw fitted recently into my mk5 gti
when the mechanic fitted it he told me it was very slightly squint, it is only by about half an inch maybe but it bothers me.
I asked him why and he said he put it onto the correct notch but adjusting my tracking would solve the problem, he assured me the wheel would not have to come off again to fix it.
My query is that at the time my car went in my tracking was 100% straight, easily tested by taking your hands off the wheel on a flat straight road and checking for drift, also my old steering wheel was bang on straight.
If i adjust my tracking to correct this problem am i actually doing the correct thing, im thinking here that the car IS straight just now and it is just the wheel that is squint, if we mess about changing the tracking to match the squint in the wheel am i effectivelly knocking the allignment / tracking ( OUT ) ???
After a bit of advice on this as im not sure if i should go back to them and get the tracking adjusted ( which im not sure they should be paying for instead of me )
or to ask them to sort the squint fitment of the steering wheel ???
does anyone know the actual size diff if the wheel is fitted and it is for example just one notch out ?
would it be as little as half an inch ?
Paid them £150 to fit this wheel as well and had to get eddie-nl to bail them out over the phone as they couldnt code it.
Fitting a mk6 mfsw to a mk5 seems to be a job NOBODY has the skill to do, even vw themselves.
Thanks guys
