97 A4 1.8T Auto, Quattro - Bearing Problems
Hello Audi Masters,
Can anyone help me? I have a 1997 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro, and I recently ordered some 1 front driver bearing and 2 rear bearings from Blauparts (online Audi/VW parts store). My mechanic installed them and now we are getting the ABS error light on the dasboard and there is a strange noise coming from the rear passenger wheel and at times when I brake I get a strange crunch like sound and the brake applies itself really hard. My mechanic is an Audi/VW guy so I am surprised about this?! Does anyone have any input. Thank you in Advance! -Stove

I'm betting that the rear axle is toast. When you let wheel bearings go for a good amount of time they play gets so bad that it wears the ring down on the axle where the abs picks up the signal.
Once these rings are destroyed it usually will kick the ABS light and will not sound too well either.
