First breakage on the GTI...

[Guy_H]

RH front wheel bearing collapsed

Not bad considering the amount of track days & racing the car has done. Oh well - will be back on the road in a couple of days

Interesting Guy, no warning??
It has had a lot of pressure on the wheel brgs, for sure! Dave Pitman literally drove the wheels off it, or at least one anyway!!
Warrantee covering it????
Cheers, Andrew

hey Andrew,

Yeah - it was odd - sounded like a tyre noise on Saturday, sounded like a steam roller on Sunday - collapsed fully. Warranty would cover it, but for the total cost of $300 fitted (genuine parts) - I'm mobile again this afternoon.

The dealer - couldn't even book in for a week!

Not much of a breakdown !

the same thing happened on my car. The noise was coming from the left, so they replaced the left one, and then the right one! so i have new wheel bearings now!!
