S40 (New) General : - Wheel Bearings

Wakeyman · Dec 7th, 2008, 16:59

I have a 06/56 S40 2.0D which appears to have developed a 'grumbling' from the rear o/s wheel when cold. I suspect this is a problem with the wheel bearing & seem to recall that there was an issue with early 2.0D models & wheel bearings.

Can anybody point me in the direction of where I might find more info on this?

Thanks

no real problem with V50 rear bearings although i have heard of one or two going .. hopefuly the car is still in warranty ...

My T5 had a rear bearing go at 31k or thereabouts. The bearing is not available separately and the whole hub assembly needs replacing. IIRC it was about £180 for the hub assembly + fitting. Mine was done under warranty.
