A wheel bearing has gone on my MK1 vRS. Not a happy bunny,05 plate with only 48500 on the clock! Just hope Skoda do it under warranty or it could be expesive.........:thumbdwn:

wouldnt imagine changing a wheel bearing would cost too much to get done. but i might be wrong!

which one has gone out of interest, and what are the symptoms of it going?

Thats quite early for a bearing to go i would have thought anyway good luck hope Skoda will do it for you:thumbup:

Had one done about 5 months ago was about £110 iirc. Bodge my symptoms where a droning sound as I steered right turned out to be driver side front so I presume as the load on that wheel reduced it started vibrating HTH

Had a Skoda teckie out for a test run. He couldn't decide which one had gone, so ordered a complete set. Now having to wait for them to call so I can book it in when a loan car is availaible

my drivers side front has gone.. 48k miles.

Oh realy, not just me then!! How old is your Octi then?? And did you get it done under warranty?

Wheel bearings seem to be a regular problem with VAG cars. Speak to people you know with polos, A3's Octavias etc and wheel bearings seem to fail anything from 30000m upwards. Now I'm told that its not just the bearing replaced but on some models the whole hub including the abs sensor

my drivers side front has gone.. 48k miles.

My nearside went at about the same time.

i had a rear done on my furby at around 20-30k

the dealer tried to wriggle out of it first saying it was the 17"s i had on, but they did it underwarranty after i put the orig wheels back on

My passenger side bearing went at about 55k a month or so ago, cost approx £100 to fix and symptom was a loud droning from the wheel.

Passenger side for me too,went at 100k and i fixed it myself.

I havent had it replaced yet - getting done soon.

Mine is a 52 plate, so no warranty.

Sherlodge. Had to ring up to see if the parts were in though, after the service chappie said he would call last week!!!!!

I had 34k on my 55 plate vRS when my bearing went...They ended up replacing the wrong one so I had to take it back again a week later.
