hope i am doing this correctly
i an thing to find a flywheel or a reference or a part number fort a specific flywheel .
i have had a flywheel like this in my hands so i know it exists . the vw fox uses a " single mass " flat face flywheel . on the vw fox from 1987 -1993
i need a very similar flywheel . it looks exactly the same except is is 1/4 inch larger . the fox flywheel is 10 1/8 in overall diameter and has 132 teeth

the one i want is 10 5/16 inches in overall diameter and has 135 teeth . .it is so close it is maddening . i need this for a brush fire truck with a pump driven by a VW DIESEL ADG 1.9 DIESEL . THIS IS AN VOLKSWAGEN INDUSTRIAL ENGINE this was made in approximately 2000 . so this is most likely off a vw engine of the vintage . for sure it is flat faced , single mass , inline , diesel engine ( may also be used on gas engines but almost for sure not air cooled engines . also it it bolts on to a standard vw bolt pattern crank shaft . the bolt pattern used to hold flywheels on vw rabbit , golf , jetta etc etc from 1975-1998 at least . any help is welcome
and will get this fire truck in service again .....

I think you are looking for 026105269L. This is a flat single mass flywheel with 135 tooth ring gear on engine side, 156mm bolt circle for clutch cover.
Application is EU only vehicles and industrial engines 1977-current, including ADG. Used ones are near impossible to find in the US, but they are still available new from VW.

May I suggest you to have a look on VW Classic Parts webpage.
Othewise, let me know the correct partnumber and I will ask at the VW dealer counter if they can get one and what the price is, later I will write it here.
I am located in Europe.

I posted the part number, 026105269L / 026105269LX. It is a VW Classic Part. 026105269LX seems to be what's currently available. I don't know what the X suffix designates, but it is a new part that comes in VW Classic packaging.
I purchased one last week (from Lithuania) for $112 plus $92 shipping to USA. Including the high shipping cost it's still less than half the price of any of the US dealers that showed availability.
