074103316A Volkswagen SPACER

Spacers are pretty simple parts, really. They’re basically just precisely sized rings or blocks. They create a gap, or space, between other engine components. Sometimes it's a very specific, measured distance, other times it’s to allow for some movement or play. They can be used in a lot of different places, from valve trains to crankshafts, even around bolts to prevent damage. Think of it like this—a lot of engine parts move and work very closely together. A spacer can keep things from rubbing directly, or it can position something exactly where it needs to be. They ensure proper alignment and prevent binding. Sometimes they act like a shield, protecting a surface from heat or wear. They’re often used during assembly to achieve the right tolerances and maintain those tolerances over time. If a spacer fails, or is missing, you'll notice if it’s something critical. You might hear knocking or rattling sounds, or experience a loss of power. It can lead to premature wear on other parts, because things aren't properly supported or aligned. Even a small spacer doing its job correctly prevents bigger, more expensive issues down the road. They’re not glamorous, but they’re absolutely essential for smooth engine operation. We carry a wide variety of these at Fixparts Online, if you’re looking for a specific one for your vehicle, and can help you find the right fit.
