06L109259A Camshaft Adjustment Solenoid for VW and Audi EA888 Engines

This 06L109259A camshaft solenoid is a replacement camshaft adjustment solenoid (often called a camshaft adjustment magnet or actuator) for Volkswagen and Audi EA888 engines. It is listed under part number 06L109259A and sold as a single solenoid. Easy Life Markets sells it for owners and workshops fixing camshaft timing faults on VW Group 1.8 and 2.0 TSI/TFSI engines.

On these engines, the solenoid is a round electrical actuator that mounts on the cylinder head and controls the camshaft adjustment system. It works as part of the engine's variable valve timing, helping the engine change valve timing for better power, economy and emissions across the rev range.

What Is Included

1 x camshaft adjustment solenoid, part number 06L109259A

The solenoid is shown in the product photos with its round body, mounting flange and electrical connector.

Compatibility

This solenoid is listed for VW and Audi EA888 engines. Part number 06L109259A is commonly catalogued for later-generation EA888 1.8 and 2.0 TSI/TFSI engines in Volkswagen Group models, including versions of the Audi A3, A4, A5 and Q5 and the VW Golf, Passat, CC and Tiguan, as well as some Seat and Skoda models. Because the EA888 went through several generations with different parts, please check the part number on your old solenoid or in your parts catalogue before ordering.

Signs of a Faulty Camshaft Adjustment Solenoid

Check engine light with camshaft adjustment or camshaft position fault codes
Rough idle or hesitation
Reduced power or poor throttle response
Oil seeping from around the solenoid or its connector

Other problems, such as low oil level, timing chain stretch, a failed camshaft adjuster or a wiring fault, can cause similar codes. Check the wiring and connector, and read the fault codes carefully before replacing the solenoid.

Installation Tips

Let the engine cool and disconnect the battery.
Clean around the solenoid so dirt cannot fall into the engine.
Unplug the connector and remove the mounting bolts.
Fit the new solenoid with a new seal if one is supplied or specified, and tighten the bolts to the correct torque.
Reconnect the plug, clear the fault codes and check for oil leaks after a test drive.

On many models the solenoids are easy to reach at the front or top of the cylinder head, but access varies by vehicle.

Why These Solenoids Fail

Camshaft adjustment solenoids work in a hot environment next to engine oil. Over time, the internal seals can harden and let oil into the connector, and the coil can fail. Dirty or old oil can also make the moving parts stick. Regular oil changes with the oil specification your manufacturer recommends help protect the new solenoid.

Checking Before You Buy

Some EA888 engines use more than one camshaft solenoid or actuator, and they are not always interchangeable. Compare the shape, mounting holes and connector with our photos, and check the number stamped on your old part. If you are not sure, send us the details and we will help you compare.

Checking the Rest of the System

The camshaft adjustment solenoid is only one part of the variable valve timing system. The system also depends on the camshaft adjusters, the timing chain, the camshaft position sensors and the engine oil pressure. If replacing the solenoid does not clear the fault, check the timing chain for stretch, make sure the oil level and pressure are correct, and check the camshaft sensors and their wiring. A diagnostic scan tool that shows the actual and target camshaft positions can help narrow down the cause.

Who This Part Is For

This solenoid suits VW and Audi owners doing their own maintenance, independent workshops that work on VW Group engines, and anyone with a camshaft adjustment fault and a matching part number.

Common Questions

Is this a genuine VW part? It is sold under part number 06L109259A as a replacement; it is not presented as a VW- or Audi-branded original.

Do I need to code it? Usually no coding is needed. Clear the fault codes after fitting.
