Measurement Preparations For Axle Alignment - Complete Alignment Mode
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2023 Audi S3, 2023 Audi RS 3, 2023 Audi A3 Quattro, and 2023 Audi A3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The mode "complete alignment" must be selected on the Wheel Alignment Computer if an axle alignment must be performed together with the driver assist systems adjustment/calibration.
Special tools and workshop equipment required
- Wheel Alignment Computer released by VW/Audi
- Vehicle Diagnostic Tester
- Brake Pedal Actuator:VAG1869/2 .
- Insert Tool - 18mm:T10179
- Steering Wheel Scales:VAS6458A
Measurement Preparations
- Drive the vehicle onto the alignment rack without tension. Move the vehicle back and forth if necessary to relieve any tension on the axle components.
- Switch off the ignition when the vehicle has come to a stop.
- Vehicle accurately aligned, suspension bounced and rocked several times
- The steering wheel must be "evened out" into the center position before beginning the measuring and adjusting. Use Steering Wheel Scales:VAS6458A for this.
- Make sure that the sliding plates and turn tables are not touching the end stop when checking the wheel alignment.
- The measurement sensor must be properly adjusted and attached to the vehicle; observe device manufacturer's operating instructions.
- Perform wheel run-out compensation: permissible axial run-out of the wheel rims can exceed the specified toe setting tolerance. If compensation for wheel run-out is not performed, it will not be possible to obtain a correct toe-in adjustment.
- The alignment rack and wheel alignment computer can deviate from their original calibration over time; therefore, they should be calibrated at least once a year during maintenance.
- Handle highly sensitive units with care.
- If necessary, contact the manufacturer for instruction on the proper use of the equipment.
