Whining noise

(1/2) > >>

MPS:
I was driving earlier on with my windows down and noticed a whine from the front end when I go around roundabouts, wheel bearing do you think?

Hi there, my car whined for about 10mths, although it was more when i was giving it some whelly, the engine just seemed so much louder, so i have recently had my front 2 wheel bearings changed for £412 by VW and the noise has gone, and along with 4 new tyres, the car runs so much better now and much quieter, so money very well spent in THIS instance....

£412!?!?!  :surprised:  :scared:

gigolo456:
yeap, for a set of 2 apparently....if you read my post below yours, you'll see that if all i had to pay was this £412.00, i'd be counting my lucky bloody stars!!! Next is likely to be a new steering rack, £1450.00, total in past 5 weekswill be c. £2500.00, so please feel slightly fortunate.... :scared:

MPS:
I take it £412 was including the labour cost? What sort of mileage was your car at when it failed? Cause mine's at 58k. I've heard of rear wheel bearings failing on the mk5 but not the fronts? How common is it for them to go?
