Review on πŸ”§ 513253 Front Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly for Audi A3 Q3 TT Quattro, VW Beetle CC Golf Jetta Passat - MACEL Compatible by Kazuki Vong

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The quality is not comparable to auto parts from brands like NAPA

Purchased on April 15 to replace the passenger hub as an experiment to compare more expensive Chinese parts with cheap ones. Replaced with a more expensive NAPA hub on the driver's side in February. Driver's side has 2,000 km more than the cheap one. After the first 1500 miles or so the Macel hub started making noise like the OEM did with the 104k. After 3 months it is so noisy that I expect it will fail so I will replace it with another NAPA hub. Cheap Chinese parts don't last long and I drive this car for about 40,000 a year. Save time and effort and buy the best quality from a good source. I've swapped out many hubs over the years, this is the fastest failure to date.

Pros
  • Shooting in kind
Cons
  • So far so good
