Guest CB-Dave Posted May 9, 2005 I had a shock at work the other day, wheel bearings for the 205 GTi are £40.99 a side!!! I can get a pair of the same ones from work using a different method for about £50 but that's a hell of a lot for bearings - anywhere else sell them cheaper?

Guest CB-Dave Posted May 9, 2005 oh, just to add - I mean front wheel bearings, not rear... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bedders 0 Posted May 9, 2005 Motor factors usually want about £20 per side, but they're supposed to be not so good as genuine pug. Although the cheaper option is what I went for with no problems as yet.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richard 0 Posted May 9, 2005 just so you know i spoke to pug the other day about rear wheel bearings.....they want 127.48 each..... after i picked myself up off of the floor....it includes the hub as well or something. So where can i get some rear wheel bearings for a 1.9 ABS 91 which are pug quality? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ahl 4 Posted May 9, 2005 (edited) Front Wheel bearing: SKF BRT901 (x2) Rear Wheel bearing: SKF BRT666 (x2) Rear wheel (with ABS?): SKF BRT1219 (x2) Get the yellow pages out and looks for Bearing distributors. Be aware, the mark up is 50% normally. Say your trade or just ask for a discount. *edit* These bearings are for the 1.6. Edited May 21, 2005 by Ahl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chownr 0 Posted May 9, 2005 I paid £24.99 + vat per side for SKF bearings (Kit including hub nut and circlips)from my local bearing supplier. They didnt have them in stock but got them the next day. Same numbers as posted by Ahl. Rich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CB-Dave Posted May 9, 2005 hmm - there's a bearings supplier just up the road from work, I'll take those numbers down and ask them for a price - cheers ahl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M@tt 77 Posted November 14, 2005 just to confirm that those front wheel bearing numbers Front Wheel bearing: SKF BRT901 (x2) are the same for the 1.9gti as well as i've just had to order some Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GLPoomobile 958 Posted November 14, 2005 What about part numbers for NON ABS 1.9s, rear bearings. I need some too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B1ack_Mi16 67 Posted November 14, 2005 What about part numbers for NON ABS 1.9s, rear bearings. I need some too. Rear bearings must be bought complete with the hub-assembly.. That's why they're more expensive. It's not possible to just change the bearing in the rear hub, as I can't see any way to get the old bearing out after it's been pressed in.

GLPoomobile 958 Posted November 14, 2005 Well when I asked about this a few months back I was given the impression that you can renew the rear bearings. If you can only buy the hub, then does anybody know (rather than me making a simple phone call!) if the Neat Autos item is a complete hub and bearing? It's about £40.

Henry Yorke 269 3 Cars Posted May 12, 2006 just to confirm that those front wheel bearing numbers Front Wheel bearing: SKF BRT901 (x2) are the same for the 1.9gti as well as i've just had to order some I am looking for 2 bearings too for 1.9 hubs, however how can the 1.6 bearings be the same as the 1.9 as the driveshafts are different thicknesses and the parts catalogue shows two different numbers here? Careful M@tt you might lose a wheel!! Incidentally I have just rung up Pug about the 3326 35 and the part number has changed to 3350 16 and they want £62.91 each plus VAT!! Ouch!! I believe these are te same as non abs 306 ones too (well the whole hub is). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simes 248 2 Cars Posted May 12, 2006 I'm 'sure' Miles mentioned that you change the rear bearings by knocking the stub axle out, it appears to be an easy job. Of course I maybe wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_life 0 Posted May 12, 2006 just ordered mine yesterday at £19.50 each from GSF and got next day before 12 delivery half price cos the girl on the phone felt sorry for me when i explained i needed them by today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted May 12, 2006 The rear's can be got from GSF or ECP and are all SKF ones I;ve found. Fronts are a different matter thou for some reason so for the SKF ones a local Motor factors are the best bet. Quickest way to remove the rear bearing is simply knock the stub axle thru it and it only takes a minute this way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
