FAQs

Can I reuse these screws if they look undamaged?

No. Flywheel screws are critical structural components and should always be replaced with new hardware per vehicle service manuals.

What does the 12.9 strength class mean?

It refers to the tensile strength of the steel; 12.9 is a high-grade industrial standard capable of handling significant stress and heat.

Are these compatible with my vehicle?

These screws are intended for various VW, Audi, Skoda, Seat, Ford, and MAN models. Check your VIN or engine code against part number N90665001 or WHT009773.

Does this set include washers?

The set contains 8 screws engineered for direct mounting; confirm your specific vehicle requirements if separate washers are noted in your service manual.

Do I need thread locker?

Some manufacturers recommend a light application of thread locker, while others do not. Consult your vehicle's service documentation.

Troubleshooting

Bolt does not thread smoothly into the crankshaft

Stop immediately, clean the crankshaft threads with a tap to remove residual thread locker or debris, and verify the bolt size matches the factory specification.

Bolt head rounds off during tightening

Ensure the use of a high-quality, non-worn socket. Verify the socket size matches the bolt head profile exactly.

Unsure of torque specification

Always consult the specific service manual for your engine code, as torque-to-yield specs vary significantly by vehicle model.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Meets high-performance 12.9 strength class standards
  • Direct OEM replacement ensures reliable fitment
  • Corrosion-resistant and durable material composition
  • Consistent weight and dimensions for balanced assembly

Cons

  • Single-use items; must be replaced during every service
  • Requires specific torque wrench settings for installation
  • Limited to specific VAG and Ford engine configurations

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, ensure that the crankshaft mounting holes are clean, dry, and free of oil or debris to allow for accurate torque readings. It is essential to use a calibrated torque wrench and follow the vehicle manufacturer's specific tightening sequence—often involving a torque-plus-angle method. Do not reuse old flywheel bolts, as they are typically torque-to-yield fasteners that lose integrity after the first installation. Always confirm your specific vehicle's part number compatibility against the cross-reference list including N90665001 and WHT009773 before beginning the repair.
