So I lifted the car up again:
Removed the wheel - same sound.
Removed caliper and break disc - same sound.
Unmounted axle from gearbox - silence.
Conclusion: wheel bearings.
I have ordered new bearings (both sides) and assume it will fix the issue. I will change topic to solved once verified...
Sound is same during brake except that braking reduces speed thus sound. If i drive with the sound present and put the car in neutral the car makes the same noise.
Not sure if its in the seat as the seats are quite good. I feel it in the wheel and pedals. Will feel closer though.
Also, I will...
Today I tilted the car to debug a little more. In the following video the noise is noticeable till 0:11 when I leave the car.
I also tried the 12-6 and 9-3 o'clock twitching to test the wheel bearing, but it seems to be alright. At this stage I suspect some sort of bearing for the frontal...
Hello
My car has started making an annoying vibration sound from the front. It has gradually become worse with time and it gets worse with velocity or when turning. I have just replaced both frontal CV joints without any sound improvement (they had begun clicking though).
In addition, I have...

And a final question...
Sorry to bother you again guyes, but I did something stupid. I removed the camshafts without checking how the actual internal bulge were.. I did however check exactly how the flat spots on the back of the cams were and thought this were enough, but when inserting them I became a little...
D'oh. Can't believe I missed that. Where should I expect to find the rocker arm and can it have made any damage to my engine?
Whats recommended procedure for this old car? only buy a new rocker arm or full package?
I'm currently checking the oil pan for clues. When unscrewing the magnetic plug i came across this piece!
How can it have jumped? is it safe to put it back or will it just loosen again? do I need to replace all parts including camshafts and rocker arms?
Hello
My car suddenly stopped running on all cylinders - thats my hypothesis anyway. The car is from 2000 and has driven 338,000km (210,023 miles) and had power to it before this.
I have tested the following
- Checked VAG-COM (no errors)
- Checked timing belt and timing
- Checked injector pump...
