My A6 has been feeling unappreciated and wants me to spend more time with her. Needy needy needy.

I have a growl coming from the front end
Turn left, or bank left around a turn it goes away
straight it makes noise
Turn right it gets louder

which side does this indicate is bad?

How much time does one side take, 02 A6
I have access to a press

Can anyone recommend good bearings, lately these aftermarket scammers are using Chinese junk to save a buck.

I just did another waterpump due to a blown bearing, Only lasted 1 year, Thankyou! Blau parts!!!! my life would be so much more unchallenged without their junk parts. The kits are convenient but their reputation has taken a backseat to their bottom line.

We should also start a thread on the best waterpump manufacturers.
That way we can all avoid some of the economic nonsense,. Not to mention the race spun out and the pump seized and shaft cocked on an angle.......I almost lost my heads........and I just rebuilt them..........if the aftermarket companies use garbage bearings then the big tb job isn't the preventative maintenance you are thinking it will be. A lot of guys complaining about blau's water pumps lately.
