Factory chain adjusters are much higher quality than all aftermarket units and should be rebuilt whenever possible! 1.8T engines require 1 set of 2 pads 2.7T, 2.8L, 4.2l Engines require 2 sets of 2 pads (1 set per bank) Compatibility: 1.8T 1998-2005 (All engine codes) 2.8L 1998-2005 (All engine codes) Touareg 4.2L 2004-2007 (All engine codes) 2.7T 2000-2005 (All engine codes) 4.2L 2000-2005 (Timing belt driven engines only) Review: Good Tensioners Are Getting Hard to Find - I tried a similar product from a usually-very-reliable and popular online parts supplier, but the part I got was a few thousandths too large and didn't fit at all. These tensioners fit perfectly and appear to be made out of the same, slick, hard plastic that the VW/Audi ones are. I am running them in a race car that lives it's life at full throttle and 7,000 RPM now, and I don't see signs of failure yet. I am usually hesitant to buy car parts on desertcart, but this kit worked out great! Plus, it came with that silly little tensioner tool that you'd otherwise have to go buy or get around using with zip ties. Trust me, the tool makes the job easier. Review: Cost effective alternative tonteplacing the entire tensioner - Guides fit and appear to be of good quality. Tool? Meh.
