VW Golf 7 GTI 2.0 TSI (CHH Engine) Crankshaft | Genuine & OE-Spec Replacement

Description

If your Golf 7 GTI (2.0 TSI, engine code CHH / CHHB) has suffered from bottom-end failure, scored journal bearings due to oil starvation, or excessive crank flex under high boost, a precision-machined or verified original replacement crankshaft is essential. We supply workshop-vetted crankshafts engineered specifically for the high-output EA888 Gen 3 platform.

Built to withstand high cylinder pressures and aggressive tuning, these steel forgings ensure correct balancing and smooth rotational stability across the entire power band.

• Factory-Spec Balance: Precision-balanced to minimize harmonic vibrations at high RPMs, protecting your bearings and main caps from premature wear.

• Dimensional Accuracy: Manufactured or inspected to strict standard (STD) tolerances for main and rod journal diameters, ensuring correct oil clearance when paired with quality bearings.

• Condition: Premium workshop-vetted component (available in new OE-spec or certified reconditioned/polished standard size); inspected for micro-cracks, straightness, and journal surface finish.

Critical Considerations for CHH Crankshaft Replacement:

• Engine Code & Gen 3 Variations: The EA888 Gen 3 family shares many components, but high-output variants like the CHH (GTI) and CJX (Golf R) require exact matching for thrust bearing placement and flywheel bolt patterns. Providing your VIN is mandatory to confirm exact part compatibility (OE cross-reference commonly includes parts tied to 06L105101D or 06K105101 series variants).

• Always Replace Bearings and Thrust Washers: Never reuse old main or connecting rod bearings after a crankshaft failure. Microscopic metal debris embeds into soft bearing material; installing a new or clean crank without fresh bearings will lead to immediate oil pressure loss and seizure.

• Check Connecting Rods: If your original crank failed due to a spun bearing, inspect your connecting rods closely. Extreme heat can distort the big-end bore, requiring rod resizing or replacement.

Workshop Pro-Tip: Measure twice and check oil clearances with Plastigauge! Even with a standard-size replacement crankshaft, always verify your main and rod bearing oil clearances. Modern EA888 engines run tight tolerances; getting this wrong will result in low oil pressure warnings when the oil gets hot on the highway!

Key Features:

• Model-Specific: Precision-engineered for the longitudinal and transverse EA888 Gen 3 2.0L TSI high-power engines.

• High-Strength Steel Alloy: Built to handle factory output as well as stage-tuned performance software safely.

• Quality Assured: Vetted for straightness, journal hardness, and oil gallery cleanliness.
