5Z0941160 Volkswagen SPRING

This particular spring isn't what holds up your car – it's a small, coiled spring usually found inside things like headlight assemblies, starters, or even some relays. It provides tension—basically, it pushes something back into place, or keeps contact happening reliably. Sometimes it acts like a shield, protecting a contact from vibration or wear. It’s all about keeping a connection solid or a mechanism moving smoothly. Think of it as a little helper. In a headlight, it might push the aiming screw against the housing to hold the beam where you need it. In a starter, it keeps the pinion gear engaged properly. In a relay, it ensures the electrical contacts open and close quickly. It’s a small part, but it's part of a larger system that needs to work right. Because these springs are under constant use and sometimes in pretty hot environments, they can corrode or lose their tension over time. When that happens, you’ll notice if your headlights start drifting, your starter is slow to engage, or you have intermittent electrical issues. It’s usually not a catastrophic failure, but it can be really frustrating. Fortunately, they're generally inexpensive to replace. You can find a lot of these on sites like Fixparts Online if you need one quickly. Ignoring a failing spring can sometimes lead to bigger problems down the road, so it's good to address it when you notice something isn't working quite right. Backed by experts: Spring (MPN 5Z0941160) comes with a 12-month warranty!
