Why do I have a bolt in bearing pack? - 2/23/2008 12:29:47 PM    bob martin   Posts: 131 Joined: 7/20/2007 Status: offline Why do I have a bolt in bearing pack on the right front my 2002 2.7t A6? It doesn't have a V-8 and everything I hace read here and in the parts catalogs say that the 2.7 came with a press in bearing assembly, not the bolt in pack. I have a nice, new press in bearing assembly sitting in my garage and a nicely disaasembled Audi. Of course, its Saturday afternoon and the chances of finding a bearing pack before Monday are nil, so now I have to go rent a car to get to and from work and the parts store. What a PITA! But, to anyone knowledgable in the ways of Audi, why do I have a bolt in pack? Bob Post #: 1

The engine size doesn't matter, the year of the vehicle does. _____________________________ 00 A4 1.8T (in reply to bob martin) Post #: 2
