This used OEM camshaft timing chain tensioner (part 078109087C) keeps your V6 chain drive under proper tension, preventing slack that leads to rattle on cold starts or even skipped timing. Designed for the left bank of Audi and Volkswagen 2.7T and 2.8L V6 engines (both DOHC and SOHC variants), it also replaces earlier versions 078109087B and 078109087. A failing tensioner often allows chain slap; swapping in this genuine unit restores quiet, reliable operation.
