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 garageand 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?

Why didn't you go to the parts department and match the part with your VIN number?
The engine size doesn't matter, the year of the vehicle does.

 

A dealership parts department open on Saturday? Oh, you kidder.....

 

all bearings are pressed in ( at least the outer ring ) that's the older cars, the 2002 has the full bearing so needs the proper kit to install ( simple to me but expensive to you ) nothing is free and simple with the newer cars

 

and guess what the 2008 get even worse like dealer only jobs[:-]but im working on that
