Rolling noises prove to be relatively common on automobiles, both for a Volkswagen 1300 and for any other model. But actually, a number of elements can generate rolling noises. In any case, those are dysfunctions that need to be addressed. We will see through this text what are the most common bearing noises on a Volkswagen 1300, and what to do to repair it.

First of all, it is essential to understand the nature of noise. If it is a noise coming from the engine block, we will see that in the next paragraph. Here we are going to find out the rolling noises coming from the wheels of the Volkswagen 1300. This is a problem that can occur as much front, rear, left wheel or right wheel . In general, it is a thud , quite similar to the sound produced naturally by the wheel, but louder and more serious. This noise should be pronounced when you turn in one direction, unless both sides are damaged. If this is the case, this noise probably comes from the wheel bearings. There are not a lot of solutions there, just change them. Be aware that a blocked bearing can cause the wheel to stop completely. Carrying out repairs alone at home requires a few special tools. The best thing is to have a lift to raise the Volkswagen 1300.
