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.
International
3–5 working days once dispatched. Any customs charges or excise duties are the responsibility of the buyer.

What VW T4 and T5 gearboxes use the BB1-3255 B bearing?
The BB1-3255 B fits VW Transporter T4 models from 2003 onwards and T5 models with the 5-speed manual gearbox. The VAG OEM part number is 02Z 311 235 E. Always confirm fitment with your vehicle registration or VIN before ordering.
Is this a genuine SKF bearing?
Yes. SKF is a Swedish precision bearing manufacturer and an OEM supplier to Volkswagen Group (VAG). BB1-3255 B is an SKF BB series gearbox bearing used in production on VAG vehicles.
What does the BB1 designation mean?
BB is SKF's internal designation for single row deep groove ball bearings designed to gearbox-specific non-standard dimensions. Unlike standard 6000-series bearings, BB bearings are made to OEM dimensions and cannot always be substituted with catalogue equivalents.
Can I use a standard 6206 or 6306 instead?
No — while the outer diameter of 72mm is shared with a standard 6306, the bore (30mm) and width (20.65mm) of the BB1-3255 B differ from any standard 6000-series bearing. Always use the specified part.
