Product Overview: This precision-machined engine crankshaft is a direct-fit replacement component engineered for Volkswagen VW 1.6 engines. Every unit is machined to factory dimensions so it can replace a fatigued, scored or bent original crankshaft as a straightforward bolt-in component.
Key Features: The crankshaft is CNC-machined on precision centres to hold main and rod journal diameters, fillet radii, stroke and end-float within original equipment limits. Hardened, ground and micro-polished journals provide the surface quality required for stable oil pressure and long bearing life. Oil passages are drilled and deburred to the original layout, supporting correct lubrication of the main and connecting rod bearings. The finished component is inspected and packed to protect its machined surfaces during transport and storage.
Vehicle Compatibility: Compatible applications include Volkswagen, with listed fitment across GOL and FOX. Fitment is documented for the 2003-2016, 2014- and 2009-2016 model years. For vehicles not shown in the list, cross-reference the engine code and original reference number to confirm fitment.
Specifications: Key specifications: engine code VW 1.6; material high-grade alloy; size Standard Size; condition New; warranty 12 Months. It is supplied for replacement and repair applications in standard specification. It is supplied in standard size, so no undersize bearings or additional machining are required at assembly.
OEM / Reference Numbers: OEM and cross-reference numbers covered by this listing are 032105101AC. Match the numbers above against the markings on the removed part to be certain of correct identification.
Applications: Applications include complete engine rebuilds, preventative bottom-end renewal and repair of units damaged by lubrication failure. It is a suitable choice for workshops that rebuild this engine family regularly and prefer to keep standard-size parts on the shelf.
Benefits / Replacement Information: Replacing a worn or damaged crankshaft restores smooth rotation, corrects vibration and bearing noise, and helps recover lost oil pressure. Because the shaft is supplied in standard size and ready to fit, it avoids the lead time and expense of re-grinding an original unit. No core return is required, and using a new shaft removes the risk of undetected fatigue cracks in an old core.
Installation or Fitment Notes: Prior to installation, verify the reference number, measure all journals and inspect the block and bearing bores for wear or distortion. Fit new bearing shells, verify clearances against factory limits, and torque the caps in the specified order. Confirm thrust clearance, prime the lubrication circuit, and observe a careful running-in period with fresh oil. Leave the protective coating in place until assembly and handle the shaft carefully to prevent nicks on the journals.
