Delivery and Shipping
UK delivery — parts we hold in stock
Ordered before 2pm on a working day, these are dispatched the same day by express courier and normally arrive within 1–2 working days.
Parts supplied from our European supplier
A large part of our range is held by our supplier in Germany rather than on our own shelves. We order these in for you as soon as you place the order. They normally dispatch within 7–10 working days, and are then sent on by express courier like anything else. Nothing ships to you direct from Germany — it comes to our Arlesey workshop first, so you deal only with us for returns and warranty.
Collection from Arlesey
Click and collect is available on parts we physically hold. If an item has to come in from our supplier it cannot be collected, and checkout will tell you so before you pay.

What is a differential adjustment ring?
A differential adjustment ring (or shim) is a precision-machined spacer used to set the correct pre-load on differential bearings and to establish the correct backlash on the ring and pinion gear mesh. Incorrect shim selection will cause premature bearing wear, noise or excessive backlash.
When is this part needed?
This shim is needed when rebuilding the 02M differential, when replacing differential bearings, or when the original ring gear backlash is outside the manufacturer's specification. Shim selection requires measurement with a dial gauge.
Is this part specific to one thickness?
Yes — this is part number 02M409374A, which corresponds to a specific shim thickness. Multiple shim thicknesses exist for the 02M differential; ensure you measure or verify the required thickness before ordering.
Is this an OE or aftermarket part?
This is supplied as an aftermarket replacement matching OE dimensions for part number 02M409374A.
Can I use this shim in the VW Transporter T5?
The 02M gearbox was fitted to the Transporter T5. If you are unsure whether this matches your specific application, please provide your VIN and we will confirm.
