HELP! - wheel bearing needed urgently

graybum · 27-04-12, 12:58 PM

I've got a 1970 Audi 100 sitting at an MOT station, that needs a new n/s front wheel bearing to pass.

I've made a few calls, and done a basic internet search but not turned anything up yet... if anyone can help me ASAP I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks guys!

Thanks mate, but I called them and they don't have stock.

I've tried so many places now, this is getting a bit silly - any help greatly appreciated!

Where are you ?

Near Brighton.

I've managed to track one down at GSF Heathrow, so looks like I'll be driving up there tomorrow morning.

I'm in trouble guys - turns out the wheel bearing from GSF isn't the right one after all, and my car is stuck on a ramp in a garage and they want it out!

Does anyone know the part number for a front wheel bearing for a 1970 Audi 100, or where I should try???

You could do what we do up here , we take the bearing into a company called city seals and bearings and they match it up

Yeah, the old bearing is now at VW Heritage to see if they can do anything, but I'm obviously worried that if they don't have anything similar then I'm stuck!

Bet if we had an old merc or porsche we could get one no problems , audi harp on about their heritage in adverts but ffs dont we have a ballache at times !

Heritage say it will need to be ordered from Germany, and will take at least a week!

There must be someone who's got something that will fit??
