Can't sort a droning noise out from the nsr of the car, I'm convinced something is wrong causing the tyre to wear strange but after searching this forum it seems a lot of people have trouble with the Goodyear F1 tyres getting noisy when worn and feathering etc.
Taken a few people round the block in my car and everyone thinks it's a bearing thats knackered, the noise alters though dependant on road surface, would this happen with a worn wheel bearing?
Decided I would price up the rear wheel bearings, from the main dealers roughly £50 each. Decided I don't really have tools to do the job myself (press) so got a price for fitting. One audi dealer quoted £600 - £700 including parts, another £341+vat+parts, they also said the car would need tracking afterwards which I didn't think it would.
I didn't book it in at either, I rang my local vw dealer that I have used for years as I thought it must be the same as an r32, they quoted £128 a side all in.
Was going to book it in there but wondered if that was a good price, it seems good to me, or should I change the tyres first?
