Price shipped? Will there be extras available or just enough for people on the list?
We are going to 40 pieces (twice the current demand based on the forum response). The good news is if says of those 40 pieces , 30 go to CR 2.0 specific customers then we will pressure Fluidampr to reconsider making a specific TDI pulley for certain platforms.Price shipped?

Won't be invoicing until we have the units in our hands....I'm guessing this means we are still in the 'who wants one for what' stage?
or are you ready to start invoicing the list of subscribers?
We never got the ASZ code here so I can't confirm but if you can get the measurement from the first groove to the back of the crank pulley it would really help in figuring out what we got state side that is similar.Hi.
What would the part number be for a european pd130 engine ASZ code front drive and which other engines would that model fit as this is quite a price for a relatively small function and price too?
What would be the symptoms and how to test for a worn oem vibration damper.
Let me know when it does. Excited to have another review!Don't expect a report from me till after Labor Day.... My schedule is too crazy right now, and it hasn't even showed up yet.
The MSRP for the Volkswagen/Audi line up are as follows:... what do you figure the price will be if Fluidampr can be pressured into manufacturing a TDI specific unit so machining wouldn't have to be done for final fitment?
The prices start under $300 for Fluidampr harmonic balancers...
Didn't post #163 say "+ shipping?"http://www.summitracing.com/parts/flu-551201/overview/make/volkswagen
So.. $414 with machining and shipping is a fantastic deal..
Yes, but the only pulley that gets spaced will be the power steering and it's hub is very deep so will align no problem. The other spacers will actually move the entire alternator, entire ac compressor, and entire serp tensioner, not just the pulley.Most of the accessory pullies VW used are hub centric - the pulley is centered by the hub and the bolts just prevent it from twisting. Spacing the pulleys out is OK as long as the hub is still in contact, but beyond that you will be stressing the retaining bolts in ways they are not designed to support. 2mm might still be OK but just something to keep in mind.

Not worth it to buy used ones, they fail left and right.... Classic 1z ahu cold start squeak.When anyone with a 1Z/AHU/AFN is upgrading to a Fluidamper, I'd like your old stock piece, please. Thank you. Let's take it to PM to discuss $.
We are waiting for Fluidampr to run out of there production batch of the 1.8T/2.0 TFSI units before they can make changes to accommodate the TDI line up.What ever happened with these?
Depends on the SMF brandSo this would reduce the noise I'm receiving with my SMF?
ARP only has a bolt for the 1Z motors not a stud + nut.Hi and would the dampner help or hamper the job of the TTY crank bolt?
I had a 96 B4 1Z in about 1999, with 440,000 miles, stock dampner, loosen. At that time the loose dampner was unusual. I always thought an ARP stud and nut would be better. What part # is the stud, and does it fit a 1Z?
The space between my dampner pulley and crankshaft V belt pulley looks to be close to 10 mm. Why couldn't I take 10 mm from my crankshaft s v belt pulley, lathe out and reweld?
Thanks Artie
The 2.5 TDI or 1.9 TDI?Any idea when these will be ready?
I'm sorry, the 1.9 TDI unit. I thought you had to machine some off the end so the belts would line up correctly.The 2.5 TDI or 1.9 TDI?
2.5 TDI lead time is 3 weeks
1.9 TDI - can ship @ anytime if you are ok with a 1.8T unit.
We now actively stock 2 at all times that have been modified for ALH fitment.I'm sorry, the 1.9 TDI unit. I thought you had to machine some off the end so the belts would line up correctly.
Thanks for the review!I am running a 2012 golf common rail with big turbo Malone tune wave track and south bend stage 2 clutch. I track the car regularly and it is a daily driver the car is run hard and put up wet. I was having chronic failure of the carbon synchronizers in the 02q 6speed so much that my nick name at the the VW dealer parts dept is Syncro. I went back to the dual mass flywheel but while stopping the tranny destruction I could not run the car under 2400 rpm with out extreme flywheel shudder. Spoke with Matt Whitbread and installed a Fluid dampener. Tracked the car all day last Monday at New Jersey motor sports park and drove it to to and from the track. Ran the Thunderbolt track car was totally neutral on the track and hit 120 on the straights. Time now for bigger inter cooler and water methane injection to get the EGTs down. But back to the balancer first impression transmission rattle was reduced by 50 %. The shifts seem smoother. The 1.8t balancer is a direct fit only slight offset difference that does not affect the belt. I just shimmed the tensioner pulley slightly. The fluid balancer balances the harmonics of the engine over a broader rpm range unlike the TDI oem balancer which is limited in its dampening capabilities. I will be happy to report long term outcome. My initial recommendation is any solid flywheel conversion on a 6speed 02q trans should have one.
