Question 2008 A3 - Humming Noises @ Highway Speeds

Greetings All,

Picked up my 2008 A3 S-line 2.0 TFSI about a year ago this month and I'm having one very particular issue with it as I am fast approaching 25,000km.

When I hit highways speeds greater than about 105 km/hr I hear a humming/droning sound coming form what sounds like the front/under the car...
The sound has been getting progressively worse over the last couple of weeks...

I read on a post from 2004 of a similar issue someone had and that their dealer diagnosed it as issues with the wheel bearings... is it possible that I have the same issue?

If indeed it is the wheel bearings would the factory warranty cover repairs?

This newbie would be grateful for any information or thoughts anyone might share.

Many Thanks!

Was this issue your bearings or just your tires or something else?
