Tracking MK3 as a MK2

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

Just had my MK3 fabia tracked and notice the sheet says MK2. Would this be an issue? Obviously I can go back, but not worth it if the specs are the same.

 

 

Thanks

What settings are they showing in Degrees and Minutes on the sheet?

 

Thanks, AG Falco

Fabia III is 0 degrees 10 Minutes total positive, if that helps.

 

Thanks, AG Falco

Hi there, sorry forgot to turn on notifications!

This is the geometry I ended up with. Not sure it shows the info it needs to though.

Just noticed +10 would be 0.10 I assume?

This is for my wife's 2015 Mk3 as a comparison. -

Thanks for that. I think I'll just take it back in and get it checked as a MK3 just in case. They look similar to me but the tyres are all new so not worth the risk.

Yes I think I would too, if there is no difference there will be nothing for them to alter, unless you have been bumping kerbs or potholes, and they just put your car on the machine and do a print-off for your model of car. 

 

If they are honest (some in the car trade can be) they will give you a print-off without fiddling the machine or claiming you've taken your car on an assault course since they last looked at it.

 

Let us know how you get on.

Is this the before adjustment sheet or the after adjustment sheet?

 

If it is the after sheet it looks like you have a total toe of 0 degrees and 20 minutes positive.

There are 60 minutes in 1 degree so 20 minutes is 1/3 of a degree.

The Fabia III should be 0 degrees and 10 minutes positive but plus or minus 10 minutes.  

So yours is just on the limit.

 

Thanks AG Falco.

The Fabia III should be 0 degrees and 10 minutes positive but plus or minus 10 minutes.  

So yours is over 1 degree out.

Thanks for the comprehensive reply, makes much more sense now. I'll drop it back in and they can just check it again.
