Wife's farm car/DD is a 2015 Q7 TDI that was bought 5 year ago on the back end of dieselgate. At 82,000 kms.I am hearing what sounds like a wheel bearing noise. I assume an HBU 3.2 and since the start of HBU1 cartridges in A1 and B1 chassis I have seen bearing life go from 100k kms up to what I now expect to exceed 300 kms with ease. Assuming this IS a wheel bearing (and this is one of my questions if anyone has experience with front axle making bearing noises at such low miles).what are people seeing from this platform for wheel bearing life?
One other thing to report: we suffered oil leaks in valley but it was fixed this year under the extended dieselgate warranty (one reason we bought the car). On last summer for the summer rubber (Conti) probably 60k life and 2 years estimated left on winter (Pirelli) rubber.
