Around $500 per wheel.

 

^^ Wow...dealership price?

You should expect around $180-$230 a wheel, just for the bearings. If your bearing had worn out so bad it ruined your hub assembly, I can see it going to $500 a wheel. Although, I am coming from a B5 owner.

 

No, not the dealer. It was my Audi Mechanic. He's an honest guy, so I think that's a good price.

 

I have my vw/audi mechanic by dixie and eglinton. Literally that's the shops name "vw/audi" as he only works on these cars. I may have paid maybe $280. Let me know if you want his contact.

He's not too expensive, or not too cheap. Either way, I do try to minimize my trips down to his shop though lol.

 

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!

how much labour did he charge per wheel??

 

Labour was quoted at 2 hrs.

 

I take it that $$750 is a good price for both wheels??

my mechanic told me to do both// that way u know the other side won't go anytime soon.

 

$750 may not be a good or great price but I do see it as a fair one.

 

Thanks I'll keep that in mind.


BTW is this a common problem with B6's Wheel Bearings going so early???

 

to check the CV boot you have to move the boot in either direction (its like a rubber accordian) and move your hand around to the places you can't see. If it was broken on the inside or even wore a substantial amount you would hear clunking when driving or lots of clicking when your turning a tight radius.
