074105264E Volkswagen FLYWHEEL

It’s basically a heavy disc, usually made of steel or cast iron, that connects to the engine’s crankshaft. It has a few key jobs. First, it stores rotational energy. Think of it like a little energy reservoir—it keeps the engine spinning smoothly between power strokes. It also provides a surface for the clutch to engage and disengage the engine from the transmission. And finally, it has a ring gear around the outside that the starter motor uses to actually turn the engine over when you start the car. It’s a critical part of the drivetrain – that’s everything that gets the power from the engine to the wheels. It works directly with the clutch and transmission. When you push the clutch pedal, you’re essentially separating the flywheel (and the engine’s rotation) from the transmission, letting you change gears. When you release the pedal, the flywheel spins again, transferring power back to the transmission and, ultimately, to the wheels. It’s really the starting point for delivering that power. If the flywheel goes bad, you’ll definitely notice. It acts like a shield against a lot of stress, so eventually it can crack or warp. You’ll notice if it's failing because you might experience rough starts, difficulty shifting gears, or a rattling noise coming from the engine area. A damaged flywheel can actually cause further damage to other parts of the drivetrain, like the clutch and transmission, so it's best to address it quickly. You can find a replacement flywheel—and complete clutch kits, since you often replace them together—over at Fixparts Online, if you're looking for one. They’ve got a good selection. Replacing it ensures smooth power delivery and prevents bigger, more expensive problems down the road. Drivers trust Volkswagen: Flywheel (MPN 074105264E) comes with a 12-month warranty!
