It serves as a direct replacement for part numbers such as 088 141 165, 091 141 165, and 113 141 165, ensuring seamless compatibility and hassle - free installation for repair shops and DIY enthusiasts alike.
Core Quality & Durability
Premium Material Construction: Made of high - strength carbon structural steel, the bearing undergoes precision quenching and tempering to achieve a surface hardness of HRC 58 - 62. This enhances its wear resistance, enabling it to handle the repeated mechanical stress and friction from over 500,000 clutch engagement - disengagement cycles, even under heavy - load conditions like towing or mountain driving.
Ultra - Smooth Contact Surfaces: Micron - level precision grinding on the bearing’s contact areas minimizes friction loss and eliminates the squeaking, rattling, or grinding noises that are common with low - quality aftermarket bearings. This ensures a quiet and smooth clutch operation, just like the original part.
Long - Lasting Corrosion Protection: A high - performance anti - corrosion coating shields the bearing from oil erosion, high - temperature oxidation, and moisture damage. This extends its service life by up to 30% compared to standard replacement parts, making it suitable for harsh working environments with temperatures ranging from - 40°C to 180°C.
Rigorous Factory Testing: Each unit passes strict quality inspections, including rotation endurance tests (2,000 hours at 6,000 RPM), pressure load tests (120% of OEM load), and salt spray corrosion tests (48 hours). This guarantees consistent performance and reliability that meets or exceeds Audi’s OEM standards.
Perfect Fit & Performance
Exact Dimensional Calibration: Every parameter of the bearing is calibrated to match the original transmission assembly of applicable Audi and Porsche models precisely. This eliminates the need for time - consuming modifications during installation, reducing labor costs and the risk of component mismatch that could lead to clutch slippage, jitter, or transmission failure.
Stable High - Temperature Operation: The bearing can operate stably at temperatures up to 180°C, maintaining its structural integrity and functional efficiency during prolonged high - intensity driving, such as long highway trips or continuous stop - and - go traffic.
OE - Style Sealing: It features an OE - style rubber seal that prevents grease leakage and keeps contaminants out, ensuring long - term lubrication effectiveness and reducing maintenance frequency.
Compatibility & Value
This bearing is compatible with a range of Audi models (including 80, 90, 100, 200, A4, A6, S4, S6, allroad) and Porsche Boxster/Cayman (986/987) models with specific manual transmissions, as well as some VW variants. It is an ideal choice for routine maintenance, worn - part replacement, and performance upgrades, offering a perfect balance of quality, reliability, and cost - effectiveness.
Choose the Audi Clutch Release Bearing 019 141 165 to restore your vehicle’s smooth clutch operation and protect your transmission system. It is not just a replacement part but an investment in the long - term performance and dependability of your Audi or Porsche.
