andydin68 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 My 2016 A6 Allroad now has a noise that humming/whining sounds like a front wheel bearing. The car has only done 46000 miles. Is it a common problem or am I just unlucky? Anyway an idea of potential repair costs would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K3v Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 HI pretty sure that wheel bearings are known to not last that long on the a6, Couldn't help with a cost though, mine haven't gone yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andydin68 Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 Just over £200 to get a front wheel bearing replaced by an independent Audi specialist. Mechanic said it was "a hell of a job" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Does that include the cost of the part Andy? - hub complete with bearing replaced, or just bearing? Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andydin68 Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 That was the price including parts. Wheel bearing was £43 + VAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Sounds like they fitted new bearings into your old hub then. Rather a labour intensive way of doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lidiven12 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Ive had many trouble in the past with wheel bearings which usually go in pairs. The cost from a mechanic can vary, but fitted them myself which might be a cheaper option for you if you know what your doing. Its quite simple if you've looked at a few tutorials. The bearings https://www.spareshut.com/collections/wheel-bearings here were the cheapest i found so its at least worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
