Alignment Problem?
I just bought a new 07 B7 Quattro Manual
S-line, Convenience and Navigation.
After 300 miles on my car, I notice my car is pulling to my right side when I let go the steering wheel.
Is it normal for a brand new car? Does it take some time for a brand new car to adjust itself to its steering wheel?

RE: Alignment Problem?
I found out the alignment problem last night, and I drove about 20 miles on freeway this morning to work, and it seems better than last nite.
I am confused. I dun think it will fix itself.
if I take it back to dealer (stealership), will it be covered in any warrenty?

When in the right-hand lanes the car will pull to the right a little due to the slant of the road. How is it in the left (passing) lane? If it pulls toward the left, then it's not the car, it's the road. If it still pulls to the right, get your alignment checked.

I had a loose bolt in the rear end after the stealership aligned my car and my alignment seemed to be different every day... hopefully you don't have the same problem, but it was just a thought

RE: Alignment Problem?
Well, definitely test this out on a nice flat, straight road that is level. If you let go of the wheel while going straight, and it pulls to one side, then you definitely have a problem.
It could be many things, tires, brakes, alignment, a defect, etc, but since its an 07 (you lucky SOB) take it back to the dealer, and let them sort it out. If they claim its OK, make sure you get the printout from the alignment machine showing the measurements.
