Title: 20k miles wheel bearing?
Post by: Catnapper on 01 September 2021, 12:26

Swinging the car around in a car park noticed a noise which suspiciously sounds like a wheel bearing.
Car's a 2017 with 20k miles.
Anyone else experienced this and what's the chances of getting it done under extended warranty :whistle:

Jack it up and spin the wheels see if you can work out which one it is.

Should be fairly easily done under warranty, not really a thing that could be argued.

I had one replaced on my last GTI at around 10k miles, very likely pothole damage.

Check the tyre to make sure you don't have something stuck in it.

Worn rear tyres are very noisy on the MK7 and sound like wheel bearings are on the way out.

New rear discs n pads on the way so will look into when changing them.
Tyres are virtually brand new.

Update:
Replaced rear discs & pads and now all seems good.
Discs weren't as bad as I thought just worn unevenly pads had 50% left.
So fingers crossed it was maybe just that
