A quick update. Visited a reputable local independent garage who have the 4 wheel aligning equipment and after putting it on the ramps said they can't adjust the steering geometry as it requires the VAG diagnostic kit? As such, they didn't check the steering geometry and sent me on my way, to, I presume they thought, a main dealer. Any thoughts?

Find a proper place with Hunter alignment equipment. The Acc doesn't need calibrating from just wheel alignment unless the car has been in a major accident. Tiny adjustments won't have any effect on ACC.

Sounds a bit like when Mk5 owners were told that you couldn't adjust their rear chamber as it was fixed!

I've seen plenty of new performance cars on a Hunter having adjustments (post new tyres) or tailored alignment settings.
