Crank walk on Golf R?

Just to confuse even more, dsg cars can have crankwalk to and of the ones I have seen the common issue was flywheel imbalance on newer DQ381.

Cupras has had every revision of parts the same as R/S3.

You would have noticed by now, first hand information from VW service manager. The imbalance was a small batch material defects and probably sourced and dealt with by now. Think they also was only on gen 3b 190ps models.

This reminds me, there is a common belief that a Fluidampr installation may prevent crankwalk. I'm not so sure on that, but it definitely won't hurt.

Hey @RolfG, if I find that Swedish guy that installed lower thrust washers and link him to you, maybe you can get the same work done. You, or a shop, will have to drop the gearbox anyway to replace the clutch, it's not much more work from there to pull the main cap and get it machined. If you really want a manual, I think that's the sensible thing to do in order to tune carefree.

Thanks, will look into that. I still think it's weird that I haven't heard any talk about this issue on Cupras. Most hatch Cupras are manual here in Swedenstan.
Do we know when they changed to N washers for the Golf R/Cupra?

It's still not a common issue. Like a coconut falling on your head. But also like getting booped by a coconut, it really sucks when it happens to you, and then you wish you made better choices.

Well if I'm in Bahamas, it's pretty likely to happen.

So a Cupra 290 from 2016 have the F washers?
Where can I read more about the exact models etc.

Rather the Bahamas than Florida.

Google ETKA and select the link by 7zap for a parts catalogue for VW group products, or phone a rural Seat dealer's parts department. Tell them you have a Cupra with a sample VIN and you need a thrust washer. They will offer you the N revision. Ask them when that revision became effective and if the prior revision is available.

Great thanks.
I saw one table over att Cupra net mentioning that all some Cupra models including the 2016 version have the N. But it feels pretty unlikely that the Cupra got it before the R.

"DKZA, CJXC,CJXH, CJXG,DNUE, DNUC Cupra engine codes use WHT 000 033 N thrust bearings." The quote is from SuperV8

I talked to my local Seat dealer. They said that F was replaced with N in 2019.
