Has anyone had any issues with front wheel bearings?
My Tekna has only done 15000 miles and just six months out of warranty. I've had to have the drivers side wheel bearing replaced. Cost me £390 and that wasn't main agents.
It sounded like a motor boat buzzing away. Seems unusual for a car with such low mileage. Not happy with that.

I have the same model and have done just over 15000 miles. I don't have the noise that you describe but do have a sensation of something rubbing towards the front right. I was thinking maybe it could be the start of a wheel bearing problem. Did you notice similar on your car?

I wouldn't say it was a rubbing sound TBH. More like a rumble. The noise abated slightly when I turned corners taking the weight off that wheel. Your ok as yours is still under warranty.
