Clutch Release Bearing (Volkswagen Golf IV / V / VI / VII / Polo 9N / 6R / Caddy / Touran / Audi A1 8X / A3 8P / TT 8N) is an essential mechanical component within the clutch system for various Volkswagen and Audi models.

It sits between the clutch fork and the pressure plate, facilitating the release of pressure when the clutch pedal is pressed.
This release bearing is designed for compatibility with popular Volkswagen models such as Golf IV through VII, Polo 9N and 6R, Caddy, Touran, as well as Audi A1 8X, A3 8P, and TT 8N. When sourcing a replacement, comparing the old bearing’s fitment and dimensions to this listing is crucial to ensure proper function and avoid premature wear or clutch issues.
Common signs that this bearing may need replacement include noise when the clutch pedal is engaged or difficulty shifting gears. Buyers should verify the specific vehicle model and transmission type to confirm compatibility. When in doubt, consulting technical advice or submitting a request through the sales support channels helps confirm the right part choice.
