Performance Crankshaft Damper Bolt Upgrade

Protect your engine from catastrophic timing failure with this high-strength crankshaft damper bolt upgrade. 
Designed to eliminate the weaknesses of factory hardware, this bolt delivers exceptional strength, precision, and long-term reliability. Manufactured from aerospace-grade material with superior thread quality, it increases clamping force by over 10% — ensuring a secure, slip-free connection and helping prevent costly sheared keyways or timing damage.

Built for performance engines where reliability matters most.

Torque Specification

• Use a 13/16” 12-point drive
• Torque to 78 ft-lb + 1/4 turn
• Apply red Loctite® during installation

Installation Notes

• The final 1/4 turn requires significant torque — use a long breaker bar.
• Thoroughly clean and inspect crankshaft threads before installation.
• The bolt is reusable. If removal is required, heat the bolt interface (do not exceed 400°F) before loosening.

Fitment

• Compatible with late 06A 1.8T engine blocks only
• Not compatible with early 058 engine blocks (B5 A4 / B5 Passat applications)

058 blocks can be identified by an external water pump and internal drive shaft
