Genuine Audi upper timing chain tensioner, OEM part number 079109218R, a used factory component. This right-side tensioner also replaces 079109218Q and 079109218P. It's a critical part for the V8 and V10 engines found in Audi and Volkswagen applications, including 4.2L and 5.2L naturally aspirated and turbocharged diesel variants. A failing tensioner often causes timing chain rattle or slack, which can lead to severe engine damage if not addressed.
