Used Audi timing chain tensioner, OEM part number 079109218Q, also known as the 079109218P superseded number. This genuine used component maintains proper tension on the timing chain to prevent slack and chain slap, which can lead to catastrophic engine damage if ignored. A failing tensioner often produces a rattling noise from the front of the engine on cold starts. This tensioner is specific to the 4.2L and 5.2L V8 and V10 gas engines found in the Audi A6 Quattro, A8 Quattro, Q7, S6, S8, and Volkswagen Touareg.
