      Tracking won’t cure wallowing on acceleration normally would be a worn lower arm bush if it’s on acceleration then back on deceleration

      @ dealers run diagnostics on the dsg gear box to see if the seller has ran the clocks back. They also do it in ecu to see if it’s been flashed & had a map/tune. They run through all the software to make sure it’s up to standards or if the warranty isn’t void. That’s why flagship dealers is more safer to buy from. I know someone right now that’s sold a golf gtd with 65k miles on…he had miles blocked out. But if he hadn’t of sold it privately or the new buyer takes it to VW he will find his cars done an extra 20k miles on it. I’ll never EVER buy private I know the car industry too well.

    Re the mystery of the damage to the inside of the wheels. I once misjudged a corner on a country road in my gti and the car dropped down off the side of the road on an approximate 30 cm drop for a few seconds and I bumped it back up while the car was still doing 60mph and the inside of both nearside wheels ended up like this one. The wheels banged off rocks and the side of the road when being steered back up onto the road from the drop.

    With the car pulling to one side, I wouldn’t say it’s tracking.
    I think something is misaligned, whether it’s suspension, or chassis/subframe. Something seems amiss.
    With the inside of the alloys looking like that, it’s definitely been “driven”.
