Our team of experienced motorsport professionals develops many of our tuning parts themselves in our workshop, "Area 51". Every item is tested and further developed on our internal performance test bench until it meets our high standards. In addition, every new product from external manufacturers also goes through our quality control and only enters the store when we would install it in our own mothers' cars. Our quality and safety standards are permanently increased in this way.

Optimum connection to the crankshaft - with the 1.8T BILLET gear wheel from BAR-TEK! Milled from solid material and super stable.
One of the biggest weak points in VW & Audi engines is the screw connection of the timing belt drive sprocket to the crankshaft. The original gearwheels quickly become loose, especially in higher-performance engines, causing the guide groove on the crankshaft to shear off. The problem is caused on the one hand by the material of the standard gear and on the other by the excessive tolerances.
The 1.8T crankshaft gear offers the perfect solution. It is milled from a solid steel block and galvanised. This makes it very stable and safe from corrosion. So you'll never have problems with worn-out wheels again!
Installation tips: Heat the billet wheel on a hotplate and then pre-install it together with the friction disc and an original screw. Then remove the original screw and fit our ARP main bolt. This ensures a perfect hold of the wheel.
