Re: Front Beam [T3]


CurtisR=> they (a reputable shop) were unable
=> to get the front into spec, and cast
=> blame on my front beam.

I've also had a couple of reputable shops give up on aligning my car, and my
car has seen several hard hits, including a major frontender. But it's still
alignable, and with reference to a good manual I've been able to show a
couple of cooperative techs (not VW guys, by the way) how to do it. So my
first reaction to this is the expectation that your guys aren't informed of
the subtleties of the Type 3 front end, but that's just an expectation. Make
sure they've got the right manual (VW, Bentley or Elfrink) and are willing
to really look at it.

That said, did they tell you exactly what they couldn't get into spec?
