Manufactured by INA in Germany, this lifter provides a reliable replacement for worn valvetrain components. It is essential for maintaining correct valve clearance and consistent engine performance.
Show original supplier description
As a 35mm hydraulic component produced by INA, an original equipment manufacturer for major European automotive brands, this part ensures the strict tolerances and reliability required for smooth valvetrain operation. Engine camshaft follower failure is often signaled by distinct tapping or clicking noises from the top of the engine, particularly when cold, or by increased valve clearance that can cause incomplete valve timing. Replacing worn lifters is critical to restoring proper air-fuel intake and exhaust cycles, which are vital for combustion efficiency and emissions control. This component is specifically compatible with select 1.9L L4 and 2.0L L4 diesel engines, as well as 4.9L and 5.0L V10 diesel configurations. Please note that this part does not fit all Volkswagen vehicles; specifically, it is not compatible with 1997 Passat models or 2012 Volkswagen models, among others. Always verify your specific engine code and model year before installation to ensure compatibility.
