ever time i get mine tracked up (too often) they lock the wheel striaght ahead and adjust the tracking to match... take it back and get them to sort it otherwise it means removing the wheel and refitting level

what mk is the car 1,2,3,4 or 5 if its 1 or 2 dead easy no air bag, best way to adjust is drive down road straight and mark the wheel were it is when straight get back home set the wheels to straight with mark as if you are driving, remove the horn, then with a 24mm socket remove the locking nut, waggle the wheel, till it comes free then put wheel back level.  then tighten wheel.  With any other mk with air bag repeat first steps till you get to removing wheel, then you must disconect battery for 30 min before removing wheel.
