I have a quick question, I got my oil changed yesterday at the shop I take it too (free oil change ). Anyways I have a bad bearing on the rear drivers side wheel, I asked the shop how much it would costs to fix it. He said around $200 with parts and labor. I went to the Audi dealership and asked them the same question and he said about $350. What do you think I should do, obviously the dealership is reliable, but the shop is a lot cheaper. Any thoughts on what I should do? It's a really annoying exausty sound that this bearing makes, so i need to fix it fast, haha. Let me know what you guys think, thanks.

 

You can buy the part for $50.

Its not hard to do, so im sure the shop can handle it.

Unbolt everything, and remove the bearing housing.

Press the hub out of the housing
Press the bearing out of the hub
Press the new bearing in the hub
Press the hub back into the housing

Rebolt/reattach everything.

 

Its harder with quattro than fwd.. I think you gotta take the hub out and to a shop to get them pressed out. The bearings with fwd on the rear are pressed into the rotor which isnt that difficult.

 

I am quattro, and you do it just like I said.

There is a writeup on audiworld.com

You can unbolt and bring them the housing, and pay them only for the press work

 

50$ for bearing.

around 250$ at a shop which includes the bearing.

or you can DIY. Do no go to the Stealership!

 

I agree with 18T.

 

Thanks for the thoughts guys. PEace
