aj1soad Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) hi everyone. i need to change the rear driver side wheel bearing on my 2002 arosa 1.4tdi but im having trouble finding the part. all the ones on ive seen on ebay are the ones that come with the complete hub and they are for the ABS models but mine doesnt have ABS. it has a 28mm shaft. anyone know where i can get one? ideally i need to get a decent one as those cheap parts dont last. also would i be better off just buying a bearing kit and taking the old bearing out or is it to much work? thanks Edited March 13, 2016 by aj1soad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mobieus_uk Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 unless you have the tools to extract the bearing then a complete hub will be easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aj1soad Posted March 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 thanks for the link but thats for a different type of bearing. ive got one similar to the one in the pic but without the ABS groves in the hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 My bad, The info on the polo forum wasn't much help lol. I thought they had the same bearings and i think they thought that too when helping the guy with the lupo. You can get the bearings separate, but you'll need to be able to press them in and out that is reasonably easy on taper bearings, much less so on the others so for most people it is easier to buy the whole hub. I doubt the abs ring matters as it's probably removable or if not then as long as it isnt fouling anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 I might be losing my marbles as it was 6 months ago but i thought my tdi had taper bearings (split pin) and just found this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Golf-mk2-mk3-Polo-Passat-Ibiza-Lupo-Corrado-Caddy-Audi-80-REAR-WHEEL-BEARINGS-/230918710881?fits=Model%3ALupo&hash=item35c3d3e661:g:7-MAAOxyQ45RA-50 So i'd be inclined to remove a grease cap and see what nut you have in there before spending money.

aj1soad Posted March 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 I did actually buy that bearing kit before checking the car and it was the wrong one the car parts place near me does have a non abs one for £48+vat for a PFI one but ive never heard of that brand. Im tempted to buy a SNR one off ebay that has an abs ring. I dont think the ring would be in the way at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Found this pic: The ring is obviously removable, so not much point paying a premium for one without the ring assuming they are otherwise the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
