Intake Camshaft Assembly for Audi & Volkswagen 2.0T Engines (A3, A4, GTI, Jetta, Tiguan & More)

An Intake Camshaft for the Audi & Volkswagen 2.0T Family

This is a complete intake camshaft assembly with timing gear built for the widely shared Audi and Volkswagen 2.0L turbocharged EA888 engine family, cross-referenced to OE numbers 06J109021G, 06J109021H, 06H109021J, and 06H109021K. If your 2.0T is showing a rough idle, a check engine light tied to camshaft timing, or a ticking noise from the top of the engine, a worn or damaged intake camshaft is a common cause across this engine platform.

Why One Camshaft Fits So Many Different Models

Audi and Volkswagen used the same 2.0L TSI/TFSI engine architecture across a wide range of sedans, wagons, and crossovers throughout the 2008-2018 model years, sharing the same cylinder head design and camshaft specifications even though the vehicles themselves range from compact hatchbacks to mid-size crossovers. Because the intake camshaft's lobe profile, timing gear, and journal dimensions are tied to the engine itself rather than to any particular body style, the same camshaft assembly fits this entire family of vehicles wherever that specific 2.0L engine was installed.

Compatibility

Fits the Audi A3 2.0L (2008-2013), A4 2.0L (2009-2016), A5 2.0L (2010-2017), A6 2.0L (2012-2015), Q3 2.0L (2015-2018), Q5 2.0L (2011-2017), and TT 2.0L (2009-2015), as well as the Volkswagen Beetle 2.0L (2012-2013), CC 2.0L (2009-2017), Eos 2.0L (2009-2016), GTI 2.0L (2008-2014), Jetta and Jetta GL 2.0L (2008-2013), Jetta Wagon 2.0L (2009), Passat and Passat Wagon 2.0L (2008-2010), and Tiguan and Tiguan Limited 2.0L (2009-2018). Because this same 2.0L engine was paired with different transmission and trim combinations across these years, it's worth double-checking your specific engine code before ordering.

Signs Your Intake Camshaft Needs Attention

A failing intake camshaft on this engine family often shows up as a rough or uneven idle, reduced power under acceleration, a check engine light referencing camshaft or valve timing, or a distinct ticking or tapping noise coming from the top of the engine. Because the camshaft directly controls when the intake valves open and close, wear or damage here can throw off the engine's timing enough to trigger a diagnostic code even before the noise becomes obvious to the driver.

Why Replace the Complete Camshaft Assembly

The lobes, journals, and timing gear on this camshaft are machined and matched together as a single precision assembly, which is why replacing the complete unit is the standard repair rather than attempting to true up worn lobes on the original. Starting with a new, fully assembled camshaft means the lobe profile and timing gear are correctly matched from the outset, avoiding the valve timing and performance issues that can come from mixing a refurbished camshaft with worn timing components.

Installation Notes

Installing this camshaft means removing the timing components and camshaft cover, extracting the old camshaft from its bearing journals, and installing the new assembly before carefully resetting valve timing to factory specification. Because incorrect camshaft timing on this engine can cause the pistons and valves to contact each other, this is a job where following the manufacturer's exact timing procedure matters more than on most other engine repairs, and professional installation is strongly recommended.
