Hi All,

Got to change my drivers side wheel bearing soon as its grumbling like mad!

Any recommendations good or bad as to which are best?? Don't really want to spend £61 on a genuine VW bearing if I can help it, anyone know who manufactures them for VW??

I've heard SKN bearings are ok, ordered one at ECP & they provided a Febi Bilstein one, declined paying £38 for that when Febi Bilstein bearings can be had on eBay for £18 delivered...

Any other places to buy?

Cheers for any help.

As Rich has said, it's a false economy fitting a pattern part. Try TPS, you might be able to get a better price than a dealer for a genuine part.
