I decided to buy a new crankshaft gear because the machine shop gouged mine with a tool while disassembling the crankshaft. The new gear I bought at a local VW parts store has the two dots located one tooth over from the gear that came out of my engine. Which one is correct? The part number on the new gear is right, so now I'm not sure which gear to use.
I can simply drill some new holes in the new gear to match the old one, but can anyone confirm which one has the righ marks? New gear and box at the top, old gear at the bottom:  Thanks for any help! |

the new gear looks small, like a Type 1 gear. compare the diameters.

QUOTE(Jake Raby @ Jun 7 2022, 11:50 PM)  the new gear looks small, like a Type 1 gear. compare the diameters. Thanks for the reminder, I should have included that information in the original post. The image is distorted and does appear to show the gears to be different sizes. Upon measurement, they are identical in diameter (~75.3 mm) and thickness (~21.25 mm). The new gear is on the right in this picture:  Can you think of or do you notice anytihing else from that picture? They appear identical to me except for the marks. Maybe that's why the guy at the parts store said they've had it for a long time. |
