Wheel bearing or something else ?

[WokingWedger]

Audi A6 C7 94000 miles Multitronic (and the gearbox is just fine thank you)

At approx 25 to 40 mph there is a gentle but distinct whump whump whump realative to road speed. I checked the wheels and tyres (new in Feb), had them check balanced, swapped front to back, noise still there .

Garage weren't sure,but suspected offside front wheel bearing.

Had that changed and the noise is still there, so they suggest maybe the other side !

Hmmmph !

I think it is slightly worse on right hand bends, so maybe weight transfer would suggest nearside. Logical ?

Can the assembled company perhaps suggest what else can be checked please ?

Don't now whether the C7 is as bad, but the C6 A6 was notorious for wheel bearings going.

The nearside front went in ours at about 50,000 miles.

Unfortunately with a lot of these things it's a bit trial and error, but you'd have hoped the garage could have got it right first time.

Hmm thanks yes I guess I have to get the near side done now. They did say they weren't certain but I do feel a bit miffed that they couldn't run it on the ramp and tell which side it was
