The 036105101C is designed for use in VW and Audi vehicles. Exact fitment depends on model year and engine code—verify compatibility using your VIN or engine code with the seller or parts catalog before purchase.
Yes. This crankshaft is marketed as a direct replacement engineered to meet or exceed OEM specifications for compatible VW and Audi engines.
The product description indicates it is a high-quality replacement built to OEM specs but does not explicitly state new or remanufactured. Confirm the condition (new, remanufactured, or remanufactured-to-new) with the seller before buying.
The listing states it is made from durable crankshaft-grade materials. For specifics (forged steel, billet, etc.), contact the supplier or check the technical data sheet supplied by the seller.
Many replacement crankshafts are supplied pre-balanced, but requirements vary. Confirm with the supplier and, when rebuilding an engine, have a qualified shop check dynamic balance during assembly.
If the crankshaft is supplied new to correct OEM tolerances, no additional machining should be required. If it is remanufactured or intended as a core rebuild, final grinding or polishing may be needed—confirm with the seller and your machinist.
When replacing the crankshaft, it is recommended to install new main and rod bearings, seals (front and rear main), crankshaft bolts or studs (if torque-to-yield), and related timing components and gaskets as needed.
Verify fitment by matching the part number to your OEM part, checking your VIN/engine code, consulting the seller’s fitment chart, or asking a dealer/mechanic. Provide vehicle details (make, model, year, engine code) to ensure compatibility.
Torque specs are engine-specific and not provided with the generic product listing. Always follow the manufacturer’s service manual or a trusted repair guide for correct torque values and tightening sequence.
Signs include knocking or rumbling noises from the bottom end, metal particles in the oil, low or fluctuating oil pressure, excessive engine vibration, and bearing failure. Any of these warrant immediate inspection.
Warranty terms are not specified in the item description. Warranty coverage (length and scope) varies by seller, so check the seller’s warranty policy before purchase.
The product description does not mention a core charge. Some suppliers require a core return for remanufactured parts—confirm with the seller when ordering.
The crankshaft is listed as suitable for performance upgrades; however, suitability depends on the specific engine build and power goals. Consult with an engine builder to ensure the crankshaft meets strength and balancing requirements for your application.
Replacement crankshafts are typically supplied with machined journals, but finish and tolerances vary. Confirm with the supplier that journals are finished to OEM specs and whether any additional machining or polishing is necessary.
Crankshaft replacement is a major engine job and should be performed by a qualified mechanic or engine builder with proper tools and experience to ensure correct installation, clearances, and balance.
