A knocking bottom end, oil pressure that falls away when hot, glitter in the drain oil or a crank that no longer turns freely all point to journal damage. Once a journal is scored or oval, grinding undersize is the only repair and a replacement crank is often the simpler route.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine code\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEA288 I4 1.6L TDI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eListed applications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVolkswagen Golf Mk7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOE \/ cross-reference numbers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e04L105021B\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupplier part number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWS-440\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty (as stated)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 Year\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum order\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment checks before ordering\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify fitment by engine code and OE number, not by model year or capacity.

Replace the rear main seal, clean the oil galleries and check the oil pump pickup while the sump is off.
