Anyway the tyre service centre did a wheel alignment, without asking but I did remember it was part of their package and managed to offset the steering wheel. I got this fixed at VW during a service, and then went back to the Tyre Service for a Balance & Rotation just over a week ago, and low and behold they did another friggin Wheel Alignment and once again off set the steering wheel. I am currently taking this up with Bob Jane Head Office aswell as some other issues I had with the service at their centre, has anyone else experienced the same issue?
Basically when the wheels are dead straight, the steering wheel is about 2-3 degrees off centre (leaning to the right). This becomes really frustrating when you think about it, but considering I drive buses everyday which have even worse wheel alignments than the car I adapt to it pretty quickly. Trying to get it fixed now, through some complaining etc.
