Could anyone tell me the part number for the rear wheel bearing for a 1.8t 4x4 estate and also a good place to obtain one ,dealer is quoting £69 but will not give me a part number to compare prices.

thanks paul

I would need a three letter engine code to confirm, but it should be 1J0598625, but as I said, subject to engine code.

Thanks for the info kentphil1 just to be sure the three letter code is ARX 

thanks paul

In which case that part number should be correct then.

Thanks for the input kentphil1That’s great ! Any ideas where I can get a good deal other than the dealers? And does anyone know if changing the rear bearing is a difficult job? 

Does not really look a simple diy job according to this - https://workshop-manuals.com/skoda/octavia-mk1/chassis/rear_suspension_drive_shaft/trailing_arm_and_suspension_arm_summary_of_components/pressing_out_and_pressing_in/

Hmmm I see what you mean didn’t think it was as involved as this seems like a job for my friendly mechanic haha thanks for the info kentphil1
