grumpyeddy Posted October 15, 2010 Report Posted October 15, 2010 can anybody tell me how to get the part number for the intermediate shaft bearing. i have a mk 2 1.9 tdi six speed. really finding it difficult without taking it apart Quote
Willie Krashitt Posted October 16, 2010 Report Posted October 16, 2010 If you can wait until Monday, I will be able to tell you. However, I did mine thinking it was the fault with a front end noise, and it is a real sod to get off the shaft.(I ended up mullering it with the angle grinder to get it off the shaft.) Is it definately gone? Having done mine, it made absolutely no difference to the noise I was getting at the front. There will be lateral movement as it is in a 'rubber' housing. Most problems in this area seem to be either the splines on the intermediate shaft, the CV joints or the wheel bearings (This is where my problem was - no play in bearing whatsoever, but having prised the seal out, lots of rusty water came out!) If you need the intermediate shaft because the splines are on their way out, it comes with the bearing already fitted. Hope this helps.George. Quote
grumpyeddy Posted October 17, 2010 Author Report Posted October 17, 2010 thanks very much for a quick response. i have had this diagnosed by my local gearbox company. they put the car up an a ramp stuck it into sixth and started it up. with a screwdriver held up against the outer side of the intermediate shaft you could feel the vibration and almost pinpoint it by the noise. they would happily change the bearing for about an hour and a halfs labour but i have to get the right part from vw because its non returnable. if you could help me get the right part it would be a huge help and save my hearing!!!

Willie Krashitt Posted October 18, 2010 Report Posted October 18, 2010 OK, The following part numbers are FORD part numbers.You don't say the build date of your Mk2, but there are different bearings for early cars. Pre 31-5-2001 has bearing 1131861 (YM21-7R205-AA) at Quote
