Gidday Jarek Sounds like u are talking about the starter ring gear. The VW dudes have a small fitting that bolts on to the case and locks the ring gear. There are a few u tube videos about that. The centre bolt is the big issue as it is torque loaded real high. ... like 125 NM from memory. So u got to be careful. As that also is effectively the Thrust bearing ( the entire load is thru the crank) End float also is specific. Hope that is some help. The reason I have responded is that many years ago I received an engine that had need “overhauled” by a aircraft engineering shop and that bolt was actually loose .... not a good look at all
