Fitment: Fits selected models across Audi and Volkswagen. Confirm exact fitment before ordering.
Product Description
The Arrowhead crankshaft is a key component in the crankshaft engine assembly, responsible for converting the linear motion of pistons into rotational power for your vehicle. Designed for select Audi and Volkswagen models, this crankshaft is engineered to meet the demands of modern internal combustion engines. It features multiple bearing journals, counterweights, and a precisely machined flange for secure fitment within the engine block.
Compatibility includes popular models from Audi and Volkswagen, such as the Audi A3, A4 (B8, B9), A5, Q3, Q5, TT, and Volkswagen Golf VI, Golf VII, and Tiguan, all with 2.0-litre engines. However, always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before placing an order, as crankshaft specifications can vary within model ranges.
Common symptoms of a worn or damaged crankshaft include engine knocking noises, low oil pressure, excessive vibration, metal shavings in the oil, difficulty starting the engine, misfires, and in severe cases, a seized engine. If you notice any of these issues, inspection and replacement may be necessary.
Replacing a crankshaft is a specialised job that requires careful attention to detail and proper tools. It is important to address crankshaft issues promptly to avoid further engine damage and costly repairs. Always ensure the replacement part matches your engine specifications before installation.
