Hi everyone,
Recently purchased a Scala 1.0 TSI SE L DSG (2021) with circa 26,000 miles. Full service history and bought from a Skoda Used Approved dealer. Noticed from the outset that the steering wheel is skewed to the right when driving the car in a straight line. I didn't think it would bother me too much at first (wrong..) so took the car to a local 'reputable' wheel/tyre garage who checked the alignment on their Hunter Hawkeye machine. They made some adjustments (see attachment) but the issue with the steering wheel was not any better (if anything, it felt slightly worse).
I returned to the garage this week who put the car back on the machine but it showed all the alignment measurements were within tolerance, and the steering wheel was centred inside using their jig. Tyre pressures all okay. They shrugged their shoulders and said there wasn't much more they could do.
Welcome views on next steps , what the underlying issue could be and whether to:
Seek a second opinion from a different garage.
See if Skoda will look at it under warranty (one year's coverage as part of the approved used package).
Thanks in advance.
