High-quality replacement exhaust camshaft suitable for selected Volkswagen Golf 7 models equipped with compatible TSI / TFSI petrol engines.

The exhaust camshaft plays a critical role in controlling exhaust valve timing and overall engine performance. A worn, damaged or incorrectly operating camshaft can lead to poor performance, abnormal engine noise, timing faults, misfires and reduced engine efficiency.

This replacement camshaft is designed for professional engine repair applications where the OEM specification matches.

OEM Part Number

• 06K109022R
• 06K 109 022 R

Suitable Applications

Compatible with selected:

• Volkswagen Golf 7
• Volkswagen Golf 7 GTI
• Selected VW 2.0 TSI applications

Depending on the exact vehicle and engine version, this part may also be used on selected Audi, SEAT and Skoda applications using the same engine family.

Product Function

The exhaust camshaft is responsible for operating the exhaust valves at the correct point in the engine cycle.

Correct camshaft operation is essential for:

• Accurate exhaust valve timing
• Smooth engine operation
• Correct combustion performance
• Stable idle
• Efficient exhaust-gas flow
• Proper interaction with the timing-chain and variable-valve-timing system

Common Signs of Camshaft Wear or Failure

A damaged or worn exhaust camshaft may contribute to:

• Ticking or tapping noises from the cylinder head
• Rough idle
• Engine misfires
• Loss of power
• Poor acceleration
• Check-engine warning light
• Camshaft timing fault codes
• Camshaft/crankshaft correlation faults
• Uneven engine operation
• Excessive wear on related valve-train components

Proper diagnosis should be carried out before replacement, as similar symptoms can also be caused by timing-chain, camshaft adjuster, oil-pressure or valve-train faults.

Important Fitment Information

Volkswagen uses multiple camshaft versions across different Golf 7 engines and production years.

The vehicle being a Golf 7 or Golf 7 GTI does not automatically confirm compatibility.

Before purchasing, confirm fitment using:

• 17-digit VIN number
• Exact engine code
• OEM number from the original camshaft
• Vehicle production date
• Engine specification

Installation Recommendation

Professional installation is strongly recommended.

When replacing the camshaft, the technician should also inspect:

• Timing chain
• Timing-chain tensioner
• Camshaft adjuster
• Camshaft bearings and journals
• Rockers / followers
• Hydraulic lifters
• Oil supply passages
• Cylinder-head condition
• Related seals and gaskets

Correct timing procedures and torque specifications must be followed during installation.
