I have had my A4 from new and have had a few issues with the car steering to the left with the steering wheel straight. Audi have had the car back a number of times to check the alignment and despite th rear toe being out of tolerance have advised there is nothing wrong with the alignment and as such refused to adjust.
As part of this I have consequently noted that the car doesnt quite look symetrical and have measured that the offside is shorter than the nearside by 20mm give or take from the front wheel arch to rear. In addition the nearside wheels are aligned front to rear but the rear offside wheel is 20mm offset from the front into the chassis. I picked this up as I could never get both sides of the car parallel to a parking space at the same time.
Has anybody had any kind of alignment issues with the faceliffted avants?
I initially thought that getting all four wheels set up correctly would sort the car steering to the left but now it looks like there is a more fundamental problem. Audi have the car back next week-to what end Im not sure but they have been a real nightmare to deal with and have demostrated extremely poor customer service. Im therefore looking at escalating the issue to Audi UK while at the same time seek independant verification of the alignment issues. Anybody have any experience of tackling Audi UK? Any advice is greatly appreciated!
