visco couple axle

[pasbogdan]

I am looking to replace the bearing of the visco axle that is in the alu support that is also support for the ac compresor.
The problem is that i do not find an oe nr for this because this version of axle/bearing is not bolted(3 bolts) on the alu support.It is presed into alu support.The bearing seems 2 pcs and it is about 70mm/40mm.I do not see any clip holding bearing on its axle and i am afraid i will have to get the whole unit.

Please help!!

It is AAN

What would we do without the man that knows all changes in parts during the years?
So the part is the same code but the model without bolts will be delivered?
046115136?
I can get it oe for something under 200 eur.That seems way to much!!Better design something with 2 bearings...Pff...have to see if i can find some bearings with exterior dimensions as the oe and use 2 or 3 linked.Or machine the alu support..I guess i will not be abble to cut the oe axle to fit bearings/circle clip on it(it should be hard material,will try it)

Thx again

I am not sure what you have or the VIN (> or <SN030351 ?) but you can't mix and match the bearings and bracke the bearing fits into. If you have the older UrS4 and early UrS6 style with the triangular (three bolt) bracket, you need both part 25 (PN 077115136A)and part 26 (the lower VIN style) (PN 046119269) OR if you have the later UrS6 bracket with the press-in bearing, you just need the later Item 26 (with the bearing and flange as one part) (PN 046115136):

The newer one.(starting with chasis nr.....)My mistake was that i looked kate only at pics and did not see that there are 2 nr 25 parts)
Best regards.
I will post if i will make a new shaft with regular(good quality)bearings.200 eur seems to much for a shaft and a bearing.The visco itself does not cost as much.
