Product Description
Keep your engine running smoothly with the Arrowhead Timing Chain Kit, designed for precise timing control in select Audi, Seat, and Volkswagen models. This kit includes all the essential components needed to replace your vehicle’s timing chain system, helping to maintain accurate synchronisation between the crankshaft and camshaft. Proper engine timing is critical for performance and fuel efficiency, making this kit an important maintenance item for your vehicle.
This kit is compatible with various Audi, Seat, and Volkswagen vehicles equipped with 1.4 TSI engines, such as the VW Polo Vivo, Golf V, Golf VI, Tiguan, and Touran. Please note that fitment can vary by model, year, engine size, and engine code, so it is essential to confirm these details before ordering.

If you notice any of these issues, the timing chain kit may need inspection or replacement.
