Wheel bearing

[Greg71]

Hi guys,

I've got what I think is a whining front wheel bearing on my A6 C7, before I have a go at replacing it,  is there any hidden problems I need to know about?

Thanks in advance.

Yes...it's a !Removed!!

Watch your ABS ring, and be very careful with the sensors for the lights/height etc. if you have them.

Thanks Thomas.

Thanks Thomas.

Had mine done at my local garage he says it was a pig of a job.

[Greg71]

Cheers mate,  I'm thinking about sending it in to be done,had a price of 240.

[ThomasG]

That's an ok price. That's about what I paid a couple of months ago.

Now wait for the rest of them to go...they seem to have a fixed lifespan.

That was my second.

Too true, there like a tag team.

I paid £150 for mine 🫡🫡

 

Made a pulsating sound above 60 mph.

[Greg71]

That's cheap, your not in Manchester are you?

[a6blacked007]

Newcastle got mine cheap off a friend.

£100 for parts £50 to fit

I could only buy part for £150.

I've bitten the bullet guys and paid 240 today, worth it really,  I had it back in the afternoon and I never had to role around on the pavement.  Quiet as a mouse again.

It's a fairly easy job if you have the correct spline tool, you can do it without taking suspension off as Audi reduced the size of the knuckle to allow access to the bearing bolts.  Can be done in under 2 hours.
