Few questions there. Sorry been out all day.
First ride height. Lh side is higher 67.8 cm to 67.2 cm rh ( kerbside).
Tyre wear. Yes inner edge trashed the tyre on the lh side which was only spotted at mot. So to keep mobile I got two new tyres and through a restest.
Garage checked tracking and that is when the camber issue came up. I took a photo of the settings. Not sure if he needed to adjust toe in/out. I will go back and ask him.
Ditto will chase up the vw dealer who advised best live with it but will send you a quote . I suspect the reason it will be “ a. Lot” apart from being a main stealer is quote will be shocks, springs, mounts, bearings, new bolts maybe arms too. That was the way I have been leaning towards albeit via a trusted cheaper local garage.
Then I started thinking maybe time to get shot and buy somthing else newer….. and put the thousand euros suspension is going to cost towards that.
Does it drive well? Well today I convinced myself it doesnt ie front left wheel feels like it is dragging on corners. Car doesnt pull left or right though in a straight line.
There is also a noise like a bearing thrum.
On the plus side having just shelled out on a cambelt and new water pump and also the periodic dsg oil and filter change, selling or trading in should be a shade easier.
