0A5498114 Audi WASHERS

Washers are basically those little flat rings you see used with nuts and bolts. They spread the load of the fastener. Instead of the nut or bolt head digging directly into the surface it's tightened against, the washer distributes that pressure over a wider area. They also help prevent loosening – a hardened washer creates more friction. Some are designed to seal things up too, preventing leaks. There are different types – some are spring washers which add a bit of tension, cupped washers for more surface area, and so on. You’ll find washers pretty much everywhere in your drivetrain, especially around the gearbox. They’re used on bolts holding the gearbox together, on any shafts or components that are bolted in place, and anywhere you need to secure something with a nut and bolt. They’re also crucial where things rotate or move, preventing wear and tear. Basically, they're a small part of a much larger system, helping everything stay connected and secure. Without washers, you’ll run into a lot of problems. Bolts can damage the surfaces they’re tightening against, meaning things won’t seal properly, or even worse, the bolt itself can fail. Think of a washer as a sort of protective layer, it acts like a shield between the bolt and the component. If you start to notice rattling sounds coming from your drivetrain, or see fluid leaks around the gearbox, worn or missing washers can often be the culprit. They’re cheap to replace, and a lot less expensive than fixing a bigger issue caused by a failed bolt or damaged component. You can find a great selection of them at places like Fixparts Online, and it's worth keeping a few spares on hand for any repair work.
