New car with 100km and tires out of balance....lol
I just picked up my new A3, it now has 171 km on it after a little bit driving. I was getting this weird vibration in my face while driving, I took the rear tires off and spun them up on my balancer at my shop here. ( I own a little custom shop in Burlington, ON. we have some very nice and expensve tire machines and balancers - much nicer then any dealer I have ever seen) I was a little unhappy to say the least, the passenger side rear tire was out 1.75oz of weight and the drivers side rear was out 0.5oz. The fronts were fine, but meh.... I would think that this would be done right for what it is. Anyone else notice anything yet when they picked theirs up?

Had similar problem the first week I had my A3...
Tech writer said Audi factory balance could be a little off. They re-balanced my wheels no charge on their Hunter GSP9700, no more problems. Unfortunately not all shops have great machines like the Hunter.

Ya, thats what makes me happy.. We have the COATS XR 1800 WHEEL BALANCER and the COATS 7065 TIRE MACHINE. They are very nice machines (worth crazy money, lol) and much nicer then any other the dealers around here.
