Overview

The Volkswagen crankshaft is a rotating assembly designed as a core engine component. It converts piston reciprocation into rotational force for the drivetrain. This part replaces OEM part numbers 078105019AH, 078105019S, and 078105101Q. A worn or damaged crankshaft can lead to engine knocking, low oil pressure, or catastrophic engine failure.
Show original supplier description
The Volkswagen crankshaft is a crucial rotating assembly that forms the backbone of your engine's power delivery system. Its primary function is to transform the up-and-down motion of the pistons into the rotational force needed to propel your vehicle. This genuine OEM crankshaft, with part number 078-105-101-AB, is a direct replacement for several other OEM numbers, including 078-105-019-AH, 078-105-019-S, and 078-105-101-Q, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance. A failing crankshaft can manifest in serious issues such as deep engine knocking sounds, critically low oil pressure readings, or even complete engine failure. Replacing a damaged crankshaft with a reliable OEM part like this one is essential for restoring engine integrity and preventing further damage. This crankshaft is compatible with a range of Audi and Volkswagen models, including the A4, A6, Allroad, Cabriolet, Passat, and S4, spanning model years from 1994 to 2005. However, precise fitment requires careful verification. Specifically, this part is intended for vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. Additionally, certain model year and engine code combinations have specific requirements, such as requiring engine code ATQ for some Passat models or APB for certain Audi A6 variants. It is crucial to consult the detailed fitment notes and confirm your vehicle's engine code and transmission type before purchase to ensure correct application.
