Wheel bearing

[tdia4]

After a set of front wheel bearings for my A4, i emailed i guy on ebay selling them, he had it advertised as "Front wheel bearing kit for audi a4 95-2000, i sent him my reg plate because it said to and he said he didnt have one for my car. So are the b5 A4's fitted with different ones?

My cars a 98 on a R plate, 1.9tdi 110. Can anyone help in finding me the correct part.

There are two bearing sizes, 75mm and 82mm.

Not sure what a 110 TDI would have as standard, but i'd guess the 75mm ones.

What i've seen so far, is 75mm cars have a 14mm hex head on the big bolt in the middle, 82mm cars have a 17mm one, so that might prove easy to check.

I'd buy the bearings somewhere reputable, All German Parts gets my vote.

Ebay might save you a few quid, but fitting cheapo bearings just doesnt make any sense, as they're such a faff to change. Buy crap ones and you'll be doing the job again far too soon.

Ok cheers buddy, I'll go to my local motor factors and see what they can turn up.

Yeah, be careful of eBay ones. I bought a cheap pair of rear bearings from eBay. 500 miles later and 3 months later I got an MOT advisory on one of them.
