BCBC MR-1349 Engine Rocker Arm - Exhaust or Intake

Engine Rocker Arm Overview

The Melling MR-1349 is a standard replacement engine rocker arm built for select Audi and Volkswagen applications. It uses a roller design, cast steel construction, and a self-aligning layout to match the needs of engines that rely on precise valve train motion.

Compatible with a wide range of Audi Q5, Audi A4 Quattro, Volkswagen GTI, and Volkswagen Jetta applications, this rocker arm is specified for intake and exhaust positions depending on the engine configuration. The anti-rust finish adds surface protection, while the shaft mounting type supports proper valve train geometry.

Key Features

• Cast steel rocker arm with roller design
• Standard replacement grade for OE-style service
• Self-aligning construction for stable operation
• Anti-rust finish for added surface protection
• Shaft-mounted design for select valve train setups

Detailed Description

Melling MR-1349 is engineered as a direct service replacement rocker arm for many turbocharged and naturally aspirated Audi and Volkswagen engines. Fitment includes applications such as Fits 2018-2024 Audi Q5, intake; Fits 2010-2022 Audi A4 Quattro, intake; and Fits 2015-2022 Volkswagen GTI, intake, along with additional Audi A3, A5, A6, Q7, and Volkswagen Atlas, Tiguan, Passat, and Jetta coverage. The roller profile helps reduce sliding contact at the valve train interface, and the cast steel body provides the strength expected in a standard replacement part. Melling MR-1349 is also cross-referenced to OE numbers 06E 109 417 and 06E 109 417 AA for the same application.

Common Uses

• Restoring proper valve train motion after rocker arm wear
• Addressing noise caused by excessive rocker arm play
• Replacing a damaged or fatigued valve train component
• Correcting inconsistent valve actuation in service repairs
• Supporting engine rebuild work that requires new rocker arms

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the engine code, position, and model-year coverage before ordering, since this part is listed for multiple Audi and Volkswagen platforms with intake, exhaust, and N/A fitment rows. Inspect related valve train components during installation and follow the manufacturer’s service procedure for shaft-mounted rocker arm systems. Melling recommends replacing rocker arms and related components during an engine rebuild to maintain efficient performance and long engine life.

Quality Assurance

Melling supplies rocker arms for domestic and import applications and uses stamped or cast construction based on OEM design requirements. MR-1349 is built from cast steel and finished for corrosion resistance, with manufacturing practices selected to support consistent valve train service.
