Hi just need same advice. Got a noise comming from front drivers side when I drive above 30mph. I think that's wheel bearing but which? When I turn left noise disappears. When I turn right noise get louder. I did get car up and check for play, couldn't find any foult. Tryed turn the wheels as fast I can couldn't hear any thing. Even swiched of abs and Tryed to speed when car was up. No noise. But noise there when car is on road. Please help . Don't want to start changing it. If its not the actual problem. Cos it's he'll of the work. Mann thanks

Left wheel bearing bud. Would advise doing in pairs if possible. Usually always left side components go first as they get all the crap from the gutter /edge of road hammered into them.

You might not feel anything when jacked up but when it's on the floor it's got at least 500kg on it when it spins. More when leading a turn (or turning right)

Does it matter that the noise comming from driver side?

Could be conduction the noise through gearbox and driveshafts etc. I tend to find that most noises on my Passat aren't where they appear. :/

I would still say left wheel bearing. May be worth giving CVs a "grab n shake" as well just to be sure.

Because I should've asked this to start with if I'm honest, what kind of noise is it? Grinding? Knocking? Clicking?

Can't describe it. It feels like if I drive faster, my car will fly off 😃

Definitely points to wheels bearing in my opinion. Noise disappearing whilst turning sets it for me. Not an automotive expert by any means such as the likes of crasher and zolla etc, but fairly confident in my abilities. Ship mechanic by trade. Lol

Didn't you ask what side? It's not always so simple as n/s components fail first. You don't always get play in a dodgy bearing, but they can sometimes 'feel or sound different' when spinning.
