Transit mk6 wheel bearing

Postby decoradesigndec » Tue Nov 15, 2016 4:38 pm

Hi all had my 52 plate 2.4 mwb rwd van in for MOT last week i had my front nearside wheel bearing changed as it was grinding on left turns. After the bearing was changed ive noticed the noise is still there. Also im get this knocking noice when breaking at low speed or moving from a staionary postion. Its wasn't doing that before it went into the garage. Ive paid alot of money for this mot and i could do with some help on whats gone wrong or why the noise is still there.


Cheers all

Check your wheel nuts are tight and the bearing nut is torqued up fully. If in doubt take the van back to the garage and get them to look at it while your with them, if the fault is through their work then they should rectify it for free. N
RUST IS LIGHTER THEN CARBON FIBRE

Took the van back and to my surprise they now want to charge me more money as they say its the other wheel bearing. Ive got it booked in with another garage for a re-test by a vosa, dvsa inspector. I was advised this by an other garage who said its was a fail after a quick look on the ramp. They kindly put me on to the vosa dvsa guy as they was worried i have been ripped off big time on other various faults to.

I'll update as this continues
