Life of a wheel bearing

[jimbo07g41]

How long do they last?

I have my mk7 T350 rear hubs and discs in pieces. I have over 100k showing on the hubs and bearings Should I replace or soldier on till I have noise?

180k on my old mk7, still on its originals when sold, and with stupid big 18's on it.

I'd wait for a noise.

Think I am with you Punto. No noise on current bearing pack, no play and no roughness. Motor factors bearings might not last anyway.

Wait for noise. Just make sure CVs aren't split. Wont just go and you left stranded. You will get plenty of notice.
Don't trouble trouble till trouble troubles you!

If its anything like the rear wheel bearing on a Renault Kangoo i replaced recently from Euro Car Farts it will only last 5 days. The van was empty.

So I ordered 5 x hub studs from Rates Ford only to receive one. Bugger I needed two. Made an enquiry with local stealers yesterday and they failed to call me back. So I have had to put it back together to go to body shop and will have to order another flipping stud.
