EV5 4 wheel alingment
I just put on a set of Agilis 51s and am having VW do a 4 wheel alignment. Has anyone had this done? any problems or benefits from having it done. It's pretty pricey too at $148. Thanks Spencer

EV5 Timing Belt
Bill: Mine gave out at about 130,000 miles. The service tech said they're typically good for 75,000 to 100,000 miles. I got a lot of life out of mine, although if it breaks, your van requires a tow.
