Product Description
The Arrowhead Bearing Pilot 15x21x23.6mm is an essential component in the engine flywheel assembly, ensuring smooth engagement between the gearbox input shaft and the engine crankshaft. Designed specifically for select Audi, Volkswagen, and Seat models, this bearing pilot supports the input shaft, reducing friction and wear during clutch operation.
This part is suitable for a range of models from Audi, Volkswagen, and Seat. Typical applications include popular vehicles such as the VW Golf, Transporter, Tiguan, Touareg, as well as various Audi A1, A3, A4, and TT models. However, always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before placing your order to ensure compatibility.
A worn or failing pilot bearing can cause symptoms such as clutch chatter, difficulty engaging gears, unusual noises during clutch operation, and vibration through the drivetrain. Ignoring these signs may lead to further damage to the gearbox or clutch components.
Replacing the pilot bearing is recommended whenever you are servicing or replacing the clutch or flywheel, or if you notice symptoms of bearing failure. Timely replacement helps prevent more serious transmission or engine issues down the line.
Order your Arrowhead Bearing Pilot from MiMi Auto Parts for reliable service and nationwide delivery throughout South Africa. Our team is ready to assist you in finding the right fit for your vehicle, ensuring a smooth and trouble-free repair.
