My B6 1.8T just turned 90 000km and there is a steady, high pitched hum coming from the left front corner of the car. The noise gets louder and the car vibrates a little when I load the suspension on that side. I can only hear it when the car is going faster than 60km/h. When I load the suspension on the right side the noise goes away.

Could this be a wheel bearing starting to give?

Any help on this problem would be awesome.

 

sounds like a wheel bearing starting to go

 

Thanks. Much appreciated
