[QUOTE="70-CA-Panel, post: 646696, member: 18591"] As a teenager after school I did work experience in a motor pool garage for the Army servicing and repairing mainly T3s . Working with some old school mechanics, one of them worked as a VW engine builder during the time our engines were assembled. They all said the dot is there specifically to line up with the valve. Just a quick google looks to confirm this at least for the yellow dot. Red dot is high point and takes precedence over yellow dot and should be aligned with the wheel low point if there’s a mark on the wheel. In theory if lined up the balancing should be better with less weights applied overall. But I’m obviously not a tyre/wheel expert 😄 [/QUOTE]
