OEM Part #: 078-105-251-Q (078105251Q)

This page covers one exact OEM part number. Every unit we stocked has sold.

The OEM harmonic balancer, also known as the crankshaft pulley or vibration damper, plays a critical role in reducing torsional vibration from the engine's crankshaft. It is situated at the front of the engine, directly attached to the crankshaft, and interfaces with the accessory belt system to drive various components. This part is crucial for maintaining engine stability and efficiency, particularly in models like the 2000-2005 Volkswagen Passat (OEM part number: 078105251Q) and the 1996-2006 Audi A4, A6, and S4 with 2.8L or 3.0L engines. Common issues requiring replacement include damage from wear or misalignment, leading to belt slippage or engine noise. Interchangeable part numbers include 078105251L and 078105263G, ensuring compatibility with a range of V6 engine configurations.
