Mine had the recal for the multitronic transmission bearing change at its 3 year end of warranty service..
Within a month one front wheel bearing had started to whine, replaced by the dealer FOC.
Then 2 months later the other side started whining so I bought the part and fitted it. Cost £109 just for the bearing, it comes in a holder that is bolted onto the hub carrier.

Sorry for bumping an old thread but just wondering Zafi which models and years were affected by this multitronic recall?
Cheers

Both front wheel bearings replaced last week at 39000 miles...can't believe I've had three wheel bearings replaced in a car thats 4.5 years old with less than 40k on the clock. Dealer blames the (factory fit) 19" rims. 99% of my driving is motorway...I've had three A4's and my wife two A3's and none have given any trouble, this might be my last Audi...can't keep splashing out £320 every 18 months for a wheel bearing, going to a local tried and tested specialst who'll supply and fit for £133 ( non Audi part)
