When to change rear wheel bearing
My Xantia 1.9TD has 175,000km and heard the rear wheel bearings need to be changed every 100,000km, is that correct? To those who have changed them, what mileage did they lasted?

Wheel bearings are a wear item, and their service life are HIGHLY dependant on a HUGE number of various factors.
You can in fact NOT anticipate WHEN to replace, and there are no scheduled replace intervals.
The only sure way to know, is when a new rumbling sound starts to accompany your driving.
Chances are you'll never have to replace them at all [;)]
I'd say if this is a worry item for you, you're simply too bored in life [^]
