Item #: 20053

Camshaft Tensioner: Jetta, Golf, New Beetle Passat 1.8T 98-01

VW 1.8T camshaft tensioner. This camshaft tensioner is mounted to the top of the 1.8T cylinder head. It keeps tension on the chain that keeps both camshafts in time.

When you hear this sound replace the cam chain tensioner as soon as possible before you run into major issues.

Do-it-Yourself Tip


Make your VW 1.8T camshaft tensioner install easy by keeping a Bentley manual in your garage. The job is not hard, but you don’t want to make a small mistake that leads to bigger problems. Put your cylinder head back up with a new valve cover gasket to prevent future oil leaks.
