It's definitely "past it's used by date" 😀
Sorry, no idea. Out of a water pumper maybe?

Well if it's a guessing game, (never played with anything but beetles & Kombi's) must be reasonably old to get that rust, and out of an aussie model. Passat/Fox? so early '80's?
Getting warmer?

does the words say "ferrozell" which is german for ferrous cell, which somehow is telling us it has iron in it?

looks like a cam gear....

the hub is Alloy and the out gear is Fibre

Dave,
My Dad bought a new beetle in 1956, it went back to the dealer under waranty to have the fibre gear replaced by an alloy one. It was a very common problem.

Yeah i know WHAT must have VW been thinking at that time.

Ive seen them on Old Fords from pre 30s or so, but you ask for a new gear and you get an alloy one, or at least i did for my 28 A Model.
