Glad I drive an import - my wheel bearing has gone at the back and the Import garage have offered to replace it for free. They say part is cheap - just takes 2-3 hrs labour. If dealer is being difficult try somebody outside the dealer cjain - Scoobysport for example ?

 

Sam, I'll have a look for you, I own a bearing distribution company so I will check out trade sources 4 u. Let you know later today

Bearing 28016AA011 £64.08 +VAT
Seal 28015AA080 £ 8.81 +VAT
Seal 28015AA070 £ 7.76 +VAT

Is the car not under warranty?

Hope this helps

ANYONE ?

 

Just for info, as we now have the part number, you can plug it into the parts finder at

 

One thing that does amaze me..and annoy me..

Is how expensive parts are in the UK compared to the US.

If you do a price comparison on Scoob parts between the UK and US, you would die!

The US are so reasonably priced.

Why are UK parts priced so high ?

Dealers on average make 20% profit on parts..

So that still implies IM (Subaru UK) are ripping people off big time.

IM sucks!

If it's like in portugal, price difference = Tax difference :-)) You don't want to know how much my MY01 cost me
