Intermediate shaft bearings. Are they the same as IDI and where to get them!
« on: August 29, 2009, 07:11:49 am »
Hi,

I'm building up my 1Z M-tdi project, i've drained the oil and removed the cambelt. Looking at the oil pump pulley it has a little play in and out, do i need to swap the bearings?

Should i clean the shaft up like people do with the IDI's?

Where can i get the bearings, I know baxter was struggling a few years ago!

Thanks

Ryan

Hi,

They are totally impossible to get in the UK. I ended up getting mine from Techtonics http://www.techtonicstuning.com/showpart.asp?partnum=104.150

They are the same on all 4 cylinder engines with the intermediate shaft.

does it sound like mine need replacing? should it have no movement at all?

What about machining it down like on an IDI? my pal has a lathe!

Cheers

According to VW if you need those bearings you have to buy a new block. However there are plenty available to the aftermarket.

Some brands are ready to go after the install and some must be reamed bigger.

I buggered a set on my first try (the ready to go type), after installing 'em the shaft wouldn't fit. The kind reamed that needs reamed would take care of that. ;)

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.
