Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and OE reference 03H109503 before ordering. Confirm the chain size, link count, and dimensions against the removed component during service. Because fitment varies by model year and chassis breakpoints, check the vehicle VIN for 2008 Audi A3 Quattro and 2008 Audi TT Quattro applications before installation. Professional timing service procedures and camshaft alignment tools are recommended for this repair.
