Default Any chance a dealer will repair my wheel bearings?

I have a 2000 A4 TQM that only has 39,000 miles on it, but both front wheel bearings are starting to go....

Since my warranty was 3 yrs, 50k, I suppose they won't cover it....however, I was wondering if anyone has had dealers make exceptions? My car has under 40k on it....for the bearings to go at this mileage is BS.

It's not up to the dealer, it will be up to AoA to make that decision. The dealer will only warranty it if AoA will pay the dealer.

Default Can't hurt.

What's the worse thing? They say no. Alot of times they will go at least 50/50 with you, which is better than nothing. What I would do is get it to your Audi dealer, have them look at it so they can confirm the bad bearing, then call AoA. If you call them first it may not do much good unless you have a dealer backing the issue. If your car is lowered or has different wheels on it they may tell you no way.
