Hi All,

 

Im having a slight problem i need help with. Im getting a slight whine at the rear end when i accelerate, and it gets louder the faster you go (a bit like the waltzer!)

 

Anyhow im sure its just a wheel bearing so does anyone know the part no or where i can get a replacement from for a 94 TT Aerotop at all?

 

Also i need to change the engine oil and the gearbox oil, can anyone tell me the suggested oil types for the same car please?

 

Thanks all!

 

:p

The oil types you will find talked to death in the FAQs and guides just here:

You'll find lots of other useful stuff in there too :)

 

The wheel bearing is a kit that costs about £120 and needs a serious press to get the old one out and possibly to fit the new one. So be warned it's not a driveway job. About 2 hours labour tops to get it done at a garage so it's not that bad.

Thanks for the info!

 

Wow, £120 for a wheel bearing, i take it its more than just a wheel bearing you get then? - god i remember when a wheel bearing for my Escort cost just £15 and took 30 mins to change :(

 

Do you know where i could pick one up from or is it a dealer visit?

 

Cheers!

Toyota or I think Blueprint. I don't know the part number but have a search and see what you can find :)

 

You get the bearing and a bunch of seals. The bearing is absolutely massive though, unsuprisingly. You're a long way from Ford Escort land in quality, durability, and alas prices ;)
