Hi,

Had four new tyres fitted to my Passat Tdi 130 last week and asked for four wheel alignment to be done.

The tyre fitting guys could not unsieze one of the track rod adjusters so couldn't make any adjustements. They gave it some shots of penetrating oil and told me to come back during the week.

Just picked up the car and they were still not able to do it and have advised me to go to a mechanic to get it sorted. They were unhappy about using excessive force to free the adjusters which I sort of understand.

Is there anything special about the Passat track rods/ends?

Anyone had any similar experience?

Any recommended solutions?

Any help/advice appreciated.

Thanks

Rob
