Figured I would share this site with all. I recently had a bearing start to fail on my 03 VW TDI, bearing was the ac compressor pulley bearing, I removed the pulley and removed the bearing and thats when the fun started. Found out real quick it was a specific application bearing and nobody could find or get one. Finally after doing a search online for a couple hours found a few other superceded numbers for it and searched those, To shorten the story a new compressor with new clutch would have been 350 bucks, and get this to by just the clutch assembly alone was 450 bucks. So after searching forever I came across this site and got a new bearing for 33 bucks shipped. savings of over 300 bucks plus the hassle of not having to evac and recharge the ac system.
