Refundable Core Charge

If a product you are purchasing has a core charge you will see it in your shopping cart under the product.

A core charge is a little like a bottle deposit. You pay a core charge when you buy a rebuildable product, and get your money back when you return the core.

Cores are the used parts that may be returned when purchasing rebuildable parts. New, used, and remanufactured products may have a core charge. We send cores to our rebuilders to create a remanufactured part. Having a core charge on most rebuildable parts helps us keep our prices low, is a great way to recycle, and ensures there is product available for the next customer. If a core deposit is shown, this charge will be added to your total at the time of sale but is refundable upon the return of your rebuildable original part. Cores are valuable to us; we need them back on a timely basis to be rebuilt so we have product to sell to the next customers. (See core return policy under warranties and return for more info)

If you have any concerns or questions about the core charge or shipping charges, please call us at 586.757.2300.

part number: 1593

VW main bearing set. The main bearings hold the crankshaft in place within the engine block, and wear out over time. A lot of cold starts and driving farther between oil changes causes even more wear. Change these if you are removing the rods and pistons; its cheap insurance against a major rebuild later.

Condition: New

Warranty

All products carry a 100 day warranty. Engines, cylinder heads, and injection pumps carry an extended 12 month warranty. See our warranty page for details.
Do-it-Yourself Tip

These VW main bearing sets do not include the thrust washers. For these engines you will need a set of the thrust washers shown below. And use a high quality assembly lube to be sure your engine is well protected during its first startup.
