Hi,
The recent MOT has thrown up that the front offside wheel bearing needs replacing.
The VAG specialist has quoted £245 all in for a genuine wheel bearing and fitting at 2 hours labour. Labour is £57 an hour. So WB £131.
Now this sounded like a lot to me both for the part and billing for 2 hours work??
I have looked on a 'cheap and nasty' car web site and seen a bearing for approx £75. Won't the VW wheel bearing be made by the same companies as the cheaper alternatives?
So, would you go for a cheaper alternative, saving approx £50, or would you opt for the genuine part??
Thanks.
