Product Description

The Arrowhead BEARING PILOT 16X24X20MM is an essential component in the engine flywheel assembly of select Volkswagen vehicles. This needle roller pilot bearing is designed to support the transmission input shaft, ensuring smooth engagement and disengagement between the engine and gearbox. Its cylindrical metal construction and closed-end design provide reliable support within the flywheel.

This pilot bearing is compatible with Volkswagen models, particularly those using engine sizes commonly found in variants such as the Microbus. Always confirm your vehicle’s model, year, engine size, and engine code to ensure correct fitment before ordering, as compatibility can vary across different Volkswagen models.

A worn or failing pilot bearing can lead to symptoms such as clutch noise, difficulty shifting gears, vibration through the clutch pedal, and even transmission damage. You may also notice increased drivetrain noise or a grinding sensation when engaging the clutch.

Replacing the pilot bearing is recommended whenever you notice these symptoms, or as part of a clutch or flywheel service. Timely replacement helps prevent further damage to the gearbox and ensures smooth operation of your vehicle’s drivetrain.
