Center chain upper guide

Unlike timing belts, timing chains are semi permanent parts of your engine, meaning their expected lifespans are well into hundreds of thousands of miles. Timing Chain Guides are designed to align the chain so it can pass smoothly over the timing chain gears. Replacement of these items are typically restricted to rebuilding high mileage engines or when parts are missing.

The original parts used by VW and Audi to build your car are available as replacement parts under the "Genuine VAG" brand. Manufactured under the direction of VW Volkswagen and Audi, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Audi Dealership network. You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Audi are not necessarily manufactured by VW Audi. No cause for concern, as Audi designs the part, hires a manufacturer and ensures its quality to you, including a 1 year warranty. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Audi for decades and are experts in their own right. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) or OES (Original Equipment Suppliers), and are often brands you recognize including Hella, Bosch, Bilstein and Lemforder. Don't be surprised to open that Genuine Audi parts box and find a Bosch branded part inside. If you are looking to buy Genuine VW Audi Parts online then you've come to the right place.
