Hi
I'll try to explain this the best i can.

There is a rumbling noise in my car which i think is coming from one of the wheels.

It happens when i hit 60mph and above then kinda disappears around 80ish.

Sound like a propellor plane? like a rough whining sound

when i load the opposite side it gets louder so when i turn right it gets louder which indicates its on the passenger side.

it does it in neutral aswell so that should rule out engine problem.

I just had the wheel bearing changed on the front passenger side but it hasn't fixed the problem.

The two rear tyres are just about on the limit so need changing soon, not sure if this would cause the same noise or not

there is a slight bend on the front passenger alloy

hopefully you can help me

cheers

Reece

Sounds like a wheel bearing.

Easiest and cheapest would be to just buy a used hub and swap the hub over.

Make sure you get the correct hub as I believe there are 50 and 55mm (basically if you're in the 2.0 TDI or above it's the 55 but I think the 1.6 TDI has a 50mm hub)
