Refundable Core Charge

If a product you are purchasing has a core charge you will see it in your shopping cart under the product.

A core charge is a little like a bottle deposit. You pay a core charge when you buy a rebuildable product, and get your money back when you return the core.

Cores are the used parts that may be returned when purchasing rebuildable parts. New, used, and remanufactured products may have a core charge. We send cores to our rebuilders to create a remanufactured part. Having a core charge on most rebuildable parts helps us keep our prices low, is a great way to recycle, and ensures there is product available for the next customer. If a core deposit is shown, this charge will be added to your total at the time of sale but is refundable upon the return of your rebuildable original part. Cores are valuable to us; we need them back on a timely basis to be rebuilt so we have product to sell to the next customers. (See core return policy under warranties and return for more info)

If you have any concerns or questions about the core charge or shipping charges, please call us at 586.757.2300.

VW 1.8T camshaft tensioner. This camshaft tensioner is mounted to the top of the 1.8T cylinder head. It keeps tension on the chain that keeps both camshafts in time. Over time this tensioner cannot keep the chain taught and your will hear the chains slap around in the cylinder head. When you hear this sound replace the cam chain tensioner as soon as possible before you run into major issues.

Condition: New

Do-it-Yourself Tip

Make your VW 1.8T camshaft tensioner install easy by keeping a Bentley manual in your garage. The job is not hard, but you don’t want to make a small mistake that leads to bigger problems. Put your cylinder head back up with a new valve cover gasket to prevent future oil leaks.
