Jepor Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Hi all , This week a humming noise has started in my A6 , it sounds like it's coming from the front, it doesn't really change when steering left or right , it gets louder as I speed up .The tyres are all good , new recently . The problem is my mechanic can't see to it for 3 weeks yet . Question is from the video is it a bearing and will I get away with it for 3 weeks more ? See attached video Movie001.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Hello John, Wheel bearing noises usually alter on left/right steering, as the load on the bearing is increased/ decreased. My hearing is poor, but it doesn’t sound typical of a wheel bearing to me. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
