This used OEM Audi timing chain tensioner, part number 079109507AE, comes from a donor vehicle. It replaces 079109507AD, 079109507AC, and 059109507A. Designed for the 4.2L 4163cc V8 DOHC naturally aspirated engine found in the Audi R8 and RS5, it maintains proper chain tension to prevent slack and timing errors. A failing tensioner often causes rattling from the timing cover or chain slap, which can lead to catastrophic engine damage if ignored.
