As the title says, looking for that part number. Want to put it on my car as a preventative measure against the crank sprocket problem. Also does anyone know how many different versions of balancer there are (were) and the differences?
Thanks,
Ian

get the one way clutched alternator pulley & problem solved. although the dampener will be even more security :wink:

I got mine from Bus Depot (http://www.busdepot.com/details.jsp?partnumber=028105243T).

Yeah I have a clutch pulley for the alternator. Just wanted to look into replacing the damper as I know there have been a few updated designs. Mine is original I believe.
Thank you very much for that link Jimfoo. I had never heard of the Bus Depot but I looked around their site and they can sell me stuff at a better price than my Canadian source. Lots of Canadian retailers are still cashing in on prices set when our dollar was only worth 65 cents US. Will definitely become a customer.

FYI, I tried to order one of these harmonic balancers from bus depot about a month ago. After not receiving it, and not hearing anything, I emailed them, and they said that they have a backorder on this part with no eta, so I cancelled my order. Too bad, such a good price.

I had a similar experience with the Bus Depot. I was amazed by their low prices. Their site said to call or e-mail for shipping costs OUTSIDE of US and Canada. I ordered a couple things from them on a Wednesday or Thursday via their site. I kind of wanted this stuff soon. So I figured the parts were on their way until I received an e-mail from them the NEXT TUESDAY stating that their website doesn't accurately quote shipping costs to Canada and that the clutch pulley I had ordered was backordered as well, and they didn't know the ETA. That just sorta burned me...I mean when a person is buying auto parts its usually not just for fun...their vehicle needs repair and they want their parts yesterday. They could have got back to me sooner IMO.
Anyway, I bought my clutch pulley and damper from this guy:

His website doesn't list everything he sells; give him a call or e-mail what you're looking for. I've dealt with him a few times and have been very happy. He keeps things in stock and shipping is fast. Clutch pulley was $85 for tax and shipping, which is still much less than the dealer. I can get you the part number if you want. The pullies are different for MK3 TDIs and MK4 TDIs...I learned that the hard way.

I ordered mine from an online supplier called autopartseh. It hasn't arrived yet though.
