Timing Chain Kit Overview

Gates CHK168 is an engine timing chain kit built for direct replacement applications that require OE-level function, fit, and performance. It is a fitment-based solution for Audi and Volkswagen models that use a timing chain component kit in the listed applications.

Key Features

Silent steel timing chain construction for consistent valve timing operation.
Includes chain guides, tensioners, and drive sprockets for a complete timing drive service.
Steel camshaft sprocket material for durability in the timing system.
Gates Timing Chain Component Kits are engineered to meet or exceed OE standards.
Fits a wide range of Audi A3, A4, A5, A6, Q5, TT, and Volkswagen GTI, Jetta, Passat, Tiguan, and related applications.

Detailed Description

This Gates timing chain kit, part number CHK168, is designed for vehicles that need a full timing drive component replacement rather than a single wear item. The kit uses a steel silent-chain design with steel sprocket components and includes guides and tensioners to restore proper chain control and timing stability. For buyers searching for an Audi A4 timing chain kit or a Volkswagen GTI timing chain component kit, CHK168 provides the core parts needed for the listed engine applications. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 90739S, 90739SX) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

Timing chain noise from worn chain or guide components.
Erratic valve timing caused by stretched chain components.
Chain control issues related to worn tensioners.
Service needs when sprockets and guides show wear together.
Engine timing maintenance on listed Audi and Volkswagen applications.

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm engine code and production date before ordering, especially for 2012 applications with the December 11, 2011 cutoff noted in fitment. Match the vehicle exactly to the listed fitment rows for Audi A3, A4, A5, A6, Q5, TT, and Volkswagen Beetle, CC, Eos, GTI, Jetta, Jetta City, Passat, Passat CC, and Tiguan. Professional timing service procedures are recommended because correct cam/crank timing alignment is critical during installation.

Quality Assurance

Gates is a global timing drive systems supplier in both original equipment and replacement markets, and its Timing Chain Component Kits are built to meet or exceed OE standards in function, fit, and performance. Part number CHK168 reflects that OE-focused engineering approach for the specified Audi and Volkswagen applications.

This part fits 73 vehicles

Always verify fitment with your vehicle's VIN if unsure. Submodel & trim restrictions may apply.
