Title: AAZ intermediate shaft bearings ???
Post by: stewardc on June 25, 2007, 09:45:30 am: During the course of my rebuild, the machine shop stated that the bearings on the intermediate shaft should be replaced. I called to get some from VW and they said VW don't list them. Kinda weird---make the engine, but don't sell the parts for it. :?

Post by: Darth Garry on June 25, 2007, 12:27:17 pm: I had to have my bearings custom made at a machine shop for my 1.6TD. Cost about $75 to have them made and fitted. The ones that came out were shot and there were chunks all in the oil pan so I had no choice.

If so, these will work

You can try Haseldens, but they will tell you what Lightcliffe told me this morning after a phone call to VW technical, you can't buy them separatley.

Mike_W I think, he sent me some recently from the states, with the dollar being on it's arse it wasn't that expensive.

If you need tools to do them, and your only in South Yorkshire, bring your block over to Huddersfield and you can use my instal-remove tool I just had made the other day.

Post by: myke_w on June 26, 2007, 12:32:12 pm: Dave, that sounds like a steal!

I'd follow Dave's advice, my stuff has to come through the border too so it's slow and costly to ship.

:wink:

Post by: 935racer on June 26, 2007, 12:55:59 pm: Dura-bond bearings are made in the states, off the top of my head I think the ones you guys want are cam bearing set NO. VWG-1

After finding someone willing to look at old books, they found them in stock. Nothing is listed in the new books, though.
