It covers the timing chain (058 109 229 B), the chain tensioner\/camshaft adjuster (listed as fully compatible with 058 109 088 L, K, D, E and H) and the gasket set (058 198 217). Easy Life Markets sells it as a kit, so the chain, tensioner and gaskets can be replaced in one go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the 1.8T, a timing belt drives the exhaust camshaft, and a short chain at the back of the head links the exhaust and intake camshafts. The tensioner keeps that chain tight and, on many versions, also works as the camshaft adjuster. Over time the tensioner pads wear and the gaskets around it start to leak oil, which is one of the most common oil leaks on these engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs shown in the product photos:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x camshaft timing chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x chain tensioner \/ camshaft adjuster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTensioner gasket set, including the half-moon seal and the tensioner gaskets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePart Numbers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTiming chain:\u003c\/strong\u003e 058 109 229 B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTensioner (fully compatible):\u003c\/strong\u003e 058 109 088 L \/ K \/ D \/ E \/ H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGasket set:\u003c\/strong\u003e 058 198 217\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlso replaces:\u003c\/strong\u003e 058 109 299\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe supplier lists this kit for 1.8T turbo engines in these models:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolkswagen:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beetle 1999–2010, Jetta 1999–2005, Bora 1999–2005, Golf 1998–2006, Passat 1997–2005\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAudi:\u003c\/strong\u003e A3 1997–2003, A4 1998–2008, A6 1998–2005, TT 1999–2006\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leon 2000–2006, Toledo 1999–2004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkoda:\u003c\/strong\u003e Superb 2002–2008, Octavia 2001–2011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese dates cover a long production run and several engine codes.

Many mechanics check the tensioner and chain whenever the timing belt is replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional installation is recommended. The job involves removing the timing belt and valve cover, locking the camshafts, and compressing the tensioner to remove it. A few points:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMark the chain and camshaft sprockets before removal so they go back in the same position.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse a proper tensioner compression tool, as the tensioner is under spring load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFit all new gaskets from the kit, including the half-moon seal, and clean the sealing faces carefully.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecheck the camshaft and crankshaft timing marks after reassembly and turn the engine over by hand before starting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhile You Are In There\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the timing belt has to come off to do this job, it is the ideal time to replace the belt, its tensioner and idler, and the water pump if they are due. A new valve cover gasket is also worth fitting, since the cover has to come off anyway. Doing it all in one visit saves repeating the same labor later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDealing With Oil Leaks from the Tensioner\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lot of 1.8T owners first notice this part because of an oil leak rather than noise. The tensioner gaskets and the half-moon seal at the back of the head harden with age, and oil starts to seep down the back of the engine. Because the gaskets are included here, fitting this kit fixes that leak at the same time as renewing the chain and tensioner. Clean the area thoroughly before and after the job so you can easily spot any new leak later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKeeping the Chain and Tensioner Healthy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tensioner relies on oil pressure to work properly, and on engines with camshaft adjustment it also controls the valve timing. Using the correct oil specification and keeping to the service schedule helps the new parts last. If your 1.8T has high mileage, it is also worth checking the oil pickup and oil pressure, since poor oil supply affects the tensioner as well as the rest of the engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Kit Is For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit suits owners of 1.8T Golf, Jetta, Passat, Beetle, A4, A3, TT, Leon and Octavia models who maintain their own cars, independent workshops that see these engines often, and anyone fixing a rear-of-head oil leak with the matching part numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuy the 1.8T Timing Chain Tensioner Kit at Easy Life Markets\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can order this 1.8T chain and tensioner kit right here.
