zeitgeist57 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 I did my Passat's 2.8L V6 timing belt using http://www.blauparts.com Can't go wrong with ECS Tuning, either...for stock replacement parts they are reasonable on price...

TurboNova Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 hes not doing a timing belt or timing belt tensioner, he needs a cam chain tensioner. There is one on each bank of the 2.8v6 they are oil fed by the engine for tension and keep the two cams on each bank in time. Jason, Id look into PAP parts, ECS Tuning, International Parts store, MJM Autohaus and then from there Id check used on vwvortex or some audi forums for someone with a trashed head with bent valves that will part out the head and sell you the tensioner cheap. Just call byers or mag with your vin and get the part number for the tensioner or look at yours so you can get the correct one if you pick it up used.

IVRINGS Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 I can try to help, but they are not cheap. Others use aftermarket ones with no issues for 1/3 price. Might do both and valve cover gaskets when you are there, but plan on keeping the car for a bit then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboNova Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 might have a line on a used one for you jason, not sure yet though. I believe it is the same engine code but from a passat 2.8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
