Billet Crankshaft Timing Gear for VW 1.8T 20V Turbo – Solid Steel Timing Pulley

Reliable Upgrade for High-Performance Builds – CNC Machined for Maximum Strength

One of the critical weak points on many VW & Audi 1.8T 20V engines is the OEM crankshaft timing gear. On tuned engines or under frequent load changes, the stock gear tends to loosen or shear off – leading to major engine failure.

Common Failure Symptoms with OEM Gear:

• Sheared locating slot on crankshaft
• Loose timing belt and misaligned timing
• Valve-to-piston contact → catastrophic failure
• OEM gear deformation when applying higher torque

Root cause: the stock gear is made of soft metal and not suitable for high torque applications. In high-performance engines, the OEM bolt torque isn’t enough to reliably secure the timing system.

The Solution: Billet Steel Crankshaft Gear

• Precision CNC-machined from a single block of high-grade billet steel
• Withstands increased torque without deformation
• Perfect fitment on crankshaft – zero play
• Ideal for turbo builds, race engines, and aggressive driving
• Protects your engine from critical failure

Technical Specs:

• Material: Billet tool steel
• Manufacturing: CNC machined, hardened
• Fitment: VW / Audi 1.8T 20V engines (AGU, AEB, BAM, APP, etc.)
• Function: Direct replacement for OEM crankshaft timing gear

Conclusion:

This billet crankshaft timing gear is essential for any serious 1.8T build. It provides maximum reliability under boost, prevents costly engine damage, and ensures long-lasting performance in demanding conditions.
