#1: 206 Wheel Bearing Author: screamer, Location: AngusPosted: Sat Feb 19, 2011 2:30 pm ---- my 03 plate 206 sounds as if one of the front wheel bearings is going, are these pressed on?
so in other words, is it a garage job?

Remember some places charge 1hr minimum, so back street garages maybe a better option.

Yeah it works as the metal casing contracts as its cold so is very slightly smaller.
