Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this bearing replace older versions?

Yes, it is a direct replacement for part numbers 3151802002 and 3151802001.

Is this compatible with my Audi?

This part fits several Audi OEM references including 020141165G and 020141165H. Always use a compatibility tool for your exact model year.

Should I replace the clutch kit at the same time?

It is highly recommended to replace the clutch disc and pressure plate simultaneously to ensure even wear across the assembly.

What kind of grease should be used during installation?

Use a high-temperature, manufacturer-approved clutch spline grease. Avoid excess grease, which can fling onto the clutch disc.

Can I install this without removing the transmission?

No, the clutch release bearing is located inside the transmission bell housing and requires the removal of the gearbox to access.

Troubleshooting

Chirping noise when the clutch pedal is depressed

The release bearing is likely failing or lacks lubrication; inspect the bearing and replace if the noise persists.

Difficult gear shifting or grinding

Verify that the clutch release bearing is seated correctly and that the hydraulic system is free of air.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality construction ensures longevity
  • Direct fit for multiple Audi and OEM part references
  • Restores smooth clutch pedal feel
  • Reliable performance under high-stress conditions

Cons

  • Requires professional transmission knowledge to install
  • Requires careful verification of vehicle fitment before purchase
  • Limited to specific manual transmission systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of this release bearing requires the removal of the transmission, making it a labor-intensive procedure recommended for experienced technicians. When installing, ensure the input shaft splines and the bearing sliding surface are lightly lubricated with high-temperature, clutch-safe grease to prevent binding. Always verify the part against your specific OEM reference, such as the Audi 020 141 165 series (B, C, E, G, or H). To maximize the life of the bearing, avoid 'riding' the clutch pedal while driving and ensure that the clutch hydraulic system is properly bled to prevent incomplete disengagement.
