Upgrade your 2000–2005 VW 1.8L Turbo engine with the Fluidampr Performance Damper (Part #551201) to improve reliability and control harmful crankshaft torsional vibrations. Over time, stock rubber dampers can degrade, especially under performance conditions, allowing destructive vibrations to increase. The Fluidampr viscous damper effectively reduces these vibrations, protecting critical engine components such as main bearings, timing gears, and crankshafts, while improving overall smoothness and valvetrain accuracy.
Unlike traditional rubber dampers, Fluidampr automatically adapts to any engine modification and continuously self-tunes in real time across the full RPM range. Each damper is precision CNC-machined, computer balanced, and built to last—requiring no tuning, maintenance, or rebuilding.
