01X301143 Volkswagen Magnet

This magnet’s job is pretty straightforward – it collects metallic particles. Inside your gearbox, things are moving, gears are meshing, and over time, tiny bits of metal wear off. This magnet grabs those particles, keeping them from circulating and potentially causing more damage. It’s like a little internal cleaner. It’s located inside the gearbox, usually stuck to the inside of the housing, or on the end of the input shaft. It’s not something that makes the car go, but it’s a crucial part of keeping things running smoothly inside the transmission. A lot of modern transmissions rely on them. Think of it as a warning system and a shield all in one. If the magnet starts collecting a lot of metal, that’s a sign something’s wearing down inside the gearbox – maybe a gear or a bearing. You’ll notice if it starts to fill up with a significant amount of stuff when you pull it out for inspection. Catching that early can save you a lot of money and trouble down the road. Replacing a transmission is a big job, but catching a problem early with this magnet could let you address it with a smaller repair. You can find these pretty easily, even at places like Fixparts Online if you need one quickly. It’s one of those often – overlooked parts that’s really important for long – term gearbox health. Drive with confidence: Magnet (MPN 01X301143) is backed by a 12-month warranty!
