Timing Chains
The timing chain keeps the pistons and valves from striking each other during intake and exhaust strokes. The chain synchronizes the camshaft and crankshaft rotation to open and close the valves at the right intervals. Your Volkswagen owner’s manual will have the recommended replacement schedule. If you do not replace the timing chain on your Touareg at the recommended mileage, you run the risk of it breaking and destroying your engine.
The timing chain is a roller chain that requires lubrication. The chain is more durable than a timing belt, but it still can wear out over time. When you replace the chain, be sure to use a genuine OEM replacement chain. These have been optimized to meet the performance standards needed by your Volkswagen. Generic chains are made to fit ,many makes and models. That means that you may not get the best performance from your engine. We do not offer cheap aftermarket copies of OEM parts.
