Thanks for your replies @SwallownAmazon and @PetrolDave , sorry for taking so long, I was on holidays without the car. Just got a guage and measured the threads + felt them with my hand, I don't believe there is unusual wear on them: Fronts have a slight decrease towards the outer threads, within 0.4 mm of the inner thread and decreases linearly - I believe this is from the previous alignment + aggressive turning. Backs are all the same within 0.2 mm of eachother with no trends. Will rotate them next oil change I do to try and slow down uneven wear on the front ones. I also considered your take @SwallownAmazon, the 4 tires are all pirellis p zero, so should not be the case here either. Hopefully it is just the wheel bearings that are still the originals and have run out of life in them! Will be changing them this or next weekend. If that still doesn't fix it, will think about balancing the 4 wheels and think about next steps.

Hello everyone, I've been doing some work on my 2016 vrs 2.0 tdi dsg wagon. I've started to notice humming noises at a few speed ranges 50 / 90 / >130kmh and some occasional negligible vibrations on the steering wheel... my passengers think I am crazy. Since the car has now 215k km, my diagnosis points to the front wheel bearings. However, I was expecting more steering wheel vibrations from worn bearings. Anyone had these symptons? Anyways, I will be replacing both front wheelbearings following the manual, will i also need an alignment? The manual says only in case the housing is also changed, but i always thought it would be needed. If this doesn't fix it, I'm thinking the driveshaft might be too worn? Hope this kind of post is okay, otherwise just let me know. Thanks guys 🫡

Hello everyone 👋 I am currently living in Germany Bavaria, had to get myself a nicer car for my long commutes and ended up on a Skoda Octavia vRS 2.0 TDI from 2016! Bought it well used at 175k km from an owner who really enjoyed the car, and now have the car at 215k km. Started learning how to do bits with my friend and trying to keep up with the wear on it. So far, hardest thing I did on it has to be the timing belt job! Between odd jobs, I always came back to Briskoda for tips and discussions on my little wagon model: Since I am not the most experienced with cars, I always question myself and the procedures for certain replacements. Hoping to take this car to high high kilometers 🤞 Cheers, WagonVrs
