Title: MK5 GTI Alignment settings same as MK4 GTI.
Post by: Black9 on 23 August 2011, 04:12

Had my suspension set up yesterday and as my car is the first of the GTIs on a 2004 the garages computer has put it down as a mk4 golf. Settings were adjusted to mk4 settings from what I can see, I called the garage and according to them the setting are the exact same apart from caster which can't be adjusted? The garage is a reputable one which only carries out alignment. Can anyone confirm if they are the same, for some peace of mind. Thanks  :smiley:
