Got a wheel bearing going, some where. Been to price up and front is £125 and rear £104 which i expected as its not just the singular bearing. Only problem is there is two types, difference being one with 3 bolts, one with 4 bolts on the flange (end of the stub axle)

Anyone know which the my vRS uses?

2.0TDi PD 170 07 plate

The car is going to Germany next month and im not driving all the way over there with a knackered bearing noise

Ha ok scrap the prices (that was from my local motor factors, which are normally cheap) but europarts only want around £95 for a front

Is it a wheel bearing going or sawtoothing on the tyres?

I was going to say check rear tyres first.

Oh? It was lowered about 3 month ago and im struggling to ind a garage that will do the tracking on such a low car.

Ill have a look later

Defo worth checking for tyre noise first especially on the rear.

It isn't tracking you need, it is a proper geometry check on a Hunter rig or similar.

Had a quick search for you

Take it here , good guys and on the forum http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/217475-4-wheel-alignment-in-leeds-bradford-area/

Definately worth a check , I was convinced my bearingswere going till I had it aligned on the hunter, much quieter now , was sawtoothing as well so worth doing Em.

Thanks for that! Ill go get her sorted.

Had a look at the tyres, the front looks like it feathering at the edge but only very slightly, the rears looks fine;

Front, can see there is slight feathering to the outer edge

Rear, Very slight on the inside

I used these to do my 4 wheel alignment,it will be a bit of a drive for you from whitby(was for me & im from far side of york) but was worth it,friendly guys who know there stuff & a fair price too.

Ema_jane,did you get a 4 wheel alignment done when you lowered your car? if not id get it checked & adjusted if req.

The rear camber will be out if it hasn't been aligned after it was lowered.

Is it me, or the angle of the photo, it only looks like about 2/3 of the rear tyre is in contact with the ground?

To me camber looks out

It most likely is out as no iv never had it adjusted since, the car is a work horse (regrettably) so some how iv never actually got round to getting it booked in any where.

I think its just the angle of the photo, the tyres make good contact with the road
