Product Overview: This nodular cast iron engine crankshaft is a direct-fit replacement component engineered for Volkswagen VW 1.6 engines. It is produced to original equipment tolerances and is intended to replace a worn, bent, cracked or journal-damaged original crankshaft without modification. The crankshaft suits 1.6 litre applications and is supplied in Standard Size with a nodular cast iron finish.
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. The journals are ground, hardened and micro-polished so the bearing shells receive a consistent oil film and run quietly from the first start. The finished component is inspected and packed to protect its machined surfaces during transport and storage. Journal fillet radii are rolled where specified, which increases fatigue strength at the highest-stress points of the shaft.
Vehicle Compatibility: This part is listed for Volkswagen, covering model families such as for VW / for Volkswagen / for Skoda. Because several production revisions share the same basic casting or forging, always confirm the engine code, casting marks and original reference number against the failed component before ordering. 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; displacement 1.6L; material High Strength Nodular Cast Iron; size Standard Size; condition New; warranty 12 Months, 12 Months. Quality control is maintained to ISO 9001 / IATF 16949 standards. Purpose is replacement and repair of the original component in standard form.
OEM / Reference Numbers: OEM and cross-reference numbers covered by this listing are 032105101AC.
Applications: Typical uses include engine overhauls, bottom-end rebuilds, fleet maintenance and repair of vehicles withdrawn from service because of bearing failure or bottom-end noise. It also suits preventative maintenance programmes where a failed unit is replaced before secondary damage occurs.
Benefits / Replacement Information: Replacing a worn or damaged crankshaft restores smooth rotation, corrects vibration and bearing noise, and helps recover lost oil pressure. Using a new standard-size shaft eliminates the turnaround time and uncertainty of reconditioning the original component. The part is a cost-effective alternative to a dealer-supplied crankshaft while retaining original equipment dimensions and clearances.
Installation or Fitment Notes: Before fitting, confirm the part number, measure the main and rod journals, and check the block line bore and bearing tunnel condition. Install with new bearings, confirm oil clearance using plastigauge, and tighten the main and rod caps to factory torque and sequence.
