VIS Balance Shaft Delete Kit Freewheel – EA113 2.0 TFSI
Free up power, reduce drag, increase reliability
The VIS Balance Shaft Delete Kit Freewheel removes the heavy balance shaft assembly (an incredible 19 lbs!) from your EA113 2.0 TFSI engine. Less rotating mass means quicker throttle response, more oil capacity, reduced risk of failure – and real horsepower gains.
Key Benefits:
- Removes ~19 lbs of rotating mass
- Faster throttle response & improved torque
- +10 bar oil pressure and more oil capacity
- Zero chance of balance shaft or bearing failure
- Increased engine reliability – avoids $1,800 OEM repair costs
- Installation in ~30 min with basic tools
- Plug & Play – no cutting or pump removal needed
- Fully reversible to stock
Technical Details:
- HQ Stainless Steel Shielded Bearing (SKF or TIMKEN only)
- Largest possible deep groove radial ball bearing (press fit)
- Double C-clips + grade 12.9 bolt for extra safety
- Rated 50,000 rpm – 10,000 h service-free
- Maintenance: Inspect and replace every 2 years if needed (SKF 6300ZZ)
Why remove balance shafts?
The EA113’s counter-rotating balance shafts are a weak point. They spin at 2x engine speed, wear prematurely and create oiling issues. Instead of truly balancing, they only mask vibrations. Deleting them boosts engine longevity and removes a major failure risk.
The Good:
- Real HP gains to the wheels
- More oil pressure to the whole engine
- No chance of shaft/bearing failure
- Protects timing chain/belt from failure
- Completely reversible
Important Note:
When installing, always check the OEM crankshaft gear (VAG 06F105243C). This weaker part should be replaced during installation.
Compatibility:
Fits all EA113 2.0 TFSI engines (VW / Audi / Seat / Skoda). Check your engine code before ordering (found on timing belt cover or boot sticker).
Warranty:
12 months manufacturer warranty
