• Poor cooling performance in older Volkswagen and Audi engines

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm hub size and vehicle configuration before ordering, since this PA146 application is limited to 40mm hub setups and specific air conditioning and serial-number breakpoints. Replace the gasket during installation, clean the mounting surface thoroughly, and inspect the belt, pulley, and cooling hoses while the system is open. This part cross-references Gates 42258 for the same application.
