The two most at-risk components are the hydraulic tensioners and VVT cam phasers – both highly dependent on the oil supply. The engine is designed with three hydraulic tensioners as well as four VVT cam phaser and solenoid units, all of which are highly dependent on oil. Most important, though, is that debris will clog oil ports.

Most later-model vehicles with a manual transmission use a hydraulicsystem consisting of the clutch master cylinder, hydraulic hoses, the concentric slave cylinder and the concentric slave cylinder bearing to actuate the clutch. The disc is clamped between the clutch and flywheel and is splined to the transmission input shaft.

CC: Let’s go way back in time, to when automotive technology – and particularly, wheel bearing technology – was more primitive. Gen 1 bearings are a press-fit application, meaning they require a hydraulic press for removal and installation. Until the 1960s, it was common for vehicles to have single-row bearings arranged in pairs.

The W family was based on the VR6, a technical marvel that let VW put a six-cylinder where a four-cylinder originally lived in the Corrado. The engines compactness also makes it tough to keep running temps low, and VW had to ensure proper cooling by giving the W12 two water pumps and a pair of fan systems, one hydraulic and one electric.
