Measure Preparations







Measure Preparations

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

Wheel Alignment Computer (V.A.G 1813) or VW/Audi approved wheel alignment devices

Brake Pedal Actuator (V.A.G 1869/2)

Insert Tool 18 mm (T10179)

Shock Absorber Set (T10001)

The lateral run out of the wheel must be compensated for. Otherwise, the measurement will result in false readings.

A correct toe-in adjustment will not be possible without performing a lateral run out compensation!

For this, observe the notes by the manufacturer of the wheel alignment equipment.

- Perform a wheel run out compensation.

- Insert the brake pedal actuator (V.A.G 1869/2).

- Press the brake pedal using the brake pedal actuator.
