VW Clutch Flywheel Bolt - Genuine VW WHT007992

Product Information

A clutch flywheel bolt is a high-strength fastener that secures the flywheel to the engine’s crankshaft in a manual transmission vehicle. These bolts are designed to withstand extreme torque and rotational forces, ensuring the flywheel stays firmly in place during engine operation and clutch engagement. Properly installed flywheel bolts are critical for maintaining drivetrain alignment, smooth clutch performance, and overall engine reliability.

• Clutch slippage or vibration, due to a loose or improperly secured flywheel.
• Unusual knocking or rattling noises from the transmission area.
• Severe engine or transmission damage, if a bolt shears or the flywheel becomes detached.

About Genuine VW

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VW” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VW, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VW Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VW are not necessarily manufactured by VW. No cause for concern, as VW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming directly from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
